Charlize Theron made a fine performance on a bit unstable story. Frances McDormand and Amber Heard were okay on their part. If the story started interesting, it lost it's path somewhere after that.

I hate "inspired by a true story". It's hard to get indignant about the things you want me to get indignant about when you don't tell me if they actually happened or not. It's also hard to get indignant about it when your movie has clichéd crap in it, like the attorney bullying the witness until he finally breaks down and blurts out the truth... or the scene where, one by one, other characters slowly and silently stand up in support of the protagonist. That stuff is awful.

Plain rural drama worth seeing just because of Therón's powerful performance.

terrible. any actor or director who accepted to take any part in that ridiculous final court scene should be punished, let alone be nominated for an oscar.

Really, really bad movie. Movies that suck ass and take themselves very seriously are disasters. That's what this is. And it's just shameless in its melodramatic heartstring pulling. Perhaps worse than Crash in that regard. Stay away from this prodigious hunk of excrement.

A good working class drama. Charlize Theron was great as was the majority of the cast (even though some of the side characters were one note). Some sexual harassment and abuse makes it a movie I don't have much interest in seeing again as it's tough to watch and made me feel quite uncomfortable.

This feels super familiar. Nothing trendsetting , nothing special, but it is a talented cast all around. Worth seeing.

Another great performance by Charlize Theron. This film also has good supporting work by Frances McDormand and Woody Harrelson.
