Overview
The eclectic residents of a small, picturesque island town must navigate a sensational murder and the discovery of a million dollars, leading to a series of increasingly bad decisions which upend the once-peaceful community.
I wanted to love the hell out of this movie. Don’t get me wrong – I really enjoyed it (particularly Levitt’s performance). All the bones were in place – good acting, a stylish presentation (including chapters, which I enjoy probably more than I should). It was good, although I had higher hopes for it. It reminded me a lot of the Coen Brothers, but it clearly wasn’t of that quality.
