Small Town Crimes

Now of course reading my summary line you may draw the conclusion that this is not a big deal. But you may be quite wrong about that. On the other hand, the pacing of the movie might also make you draw certain conclusion ... or make you dislike it.

Would be a shame, because this is more than decent overall. The main characters are very well painted (no pun intended) and have their work cut out for them. Depending on your morals you will judge them and their actions differently of course.

Not the best of the bunch for me, but certainly above average ... if you can dig its vibe and its pace.

Better than very good

This is a story from the POV of the woman. All the women. Excellent sense of place and realistic portrayal of intrigue, power, protection, and betrayal. I enjoyed every minute and would recommend.

Casting was outstanding...

...and everyone fit their role and played their part perfectly, especially the sisters and June Squibb, who is always a joy to watch.

The directing was good, but the writing/screenplay could've been better, and had plot and technical issues. The pacing was a little slow and the 90 min runtime felt like 2 hours. The singing fishermen and obnoxious score were very annoying imo. However, the cinematography and sets were great. I know the critics liked this film, and its Fargo theme, but it's not my cup of storytelling tea. It's 6/10 all going to the cast.

Good Quirky Movie

Great actors who played their parts very well. The three old gals, who know everything that goes on in town, work their magic up front and behind the scenes. Margo Martindale makes it worth watching. You'll know whether it's your cup of tea in the first 20 minutes. It's not a comedy-drama but the little old ladies will make you laugh throughout.

Solid film, fun ride

While sometimes it felt that a bit too much was crammed into this film, it is always engaging and held my interest. Caught it at Tribecca. Mixed emotions hit me throughout as I enjoyed some very unique components including the music and the beautiful settings, but sometimes a campiness had me feeling like I was watching Desperate Housewives. The two young actresses playing the sisters we're very strong, and held their ground with a group of very seasoned actresses. A lot to like here.

Trivia
The lead singing fisherman is played by David Coffin. This is his first (and only as of Feb 2022) TV or movie appearance. He was cast in this movie because of a viral video of him singing the sea chantey "Roll the Old Chariot" at the 2010 Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival in Portsmouth, NH.
