About
You may like this if you want a morally thorny small-town drama with an uneasy, lingering mood and more fallout than mystery-solving, similar in spirit to The Pledge; Not for you if you need fast pacing and clear answers.
Pros: tense, haunting mood; strong performances; striking landscapes | Cons: slow, meandering pace; unresolved story threads; heavy-handed social themes
