11/22/2018 Pay no attention to the lowly, always slobbering crybaby reviews. Apparently they can type but lack the capacity to understand quality of content over lesser values in movies. This is the kind of intelligent, well done movie that we're constantly searching for and unfortunately seldom find. If you had the presence of forethought to preread the IMDb reviews, then know that: "You're in for a treat". Bon Appetit

Given the "Sub 7" overall score, I thought I was taking a chance with this.... Wow, what a knockout this is. I've now watched it twice in 10 days, the second viewing better than the first, as portents missed in the first view, came out in the second. Marvellous acting all round, with assured direction. Humour contrasted with sadness, a free spirit with regimentation. Loneliness and relationships. And betrayal big time. Can't recommend enough, enjoy.

A "road movie" loaded with pain, loss and that deplorable feeling of helplessness, a good plot, could have invested more in the son's tragic death, however the focus is all on the mother's pain, and the search for why he committed such attempt on life itself, a simple, short and sensitive outcome ... Single Movie ...

Ever 'lose' a title you've added to your Netflix list? Well...this one did...even if I was really happy after watching the first few opening minutes (which gave me the impression that it was going to be a cheeky comedy)..it probably took me more than a year to find it again. I think the biggest barrier of this film finding its ideal audience (like me!) is the title and the poster (or at least the featured cover art on IMDB and likely on DVDs and various other mediums). The poster communicates 'afterthought'...and thankfully the film is nothing but an example of fine filmmaking. I was chuckling when Clyde was uttering the 'cryptic' line at the bar. Though now it's actually a weighty scene rather than a light scene (guessing Walker's password) because I realised Byrd's consideration and response foreshadowed her revelation in a later scene. I think the last film I paid attention to Holly Hunter on screen was 'The Big Sick' (To me...the best bits are either her or Ray Romano's scenes). And of course she's brilliant in both instalments of 'The Incredibles'. After seeing this...I will be keeping an eye on her other titles (and going the extra mile and requesting them to be added to Netflix ---- as currently...there are only two titles with her name). If you loved Holly's 'Mama Bear' in 'The Big Sick' --- I think...there's a chance that 'Strange Weather' might be a fit for you too.

(Flash Review) In the sweltering southern back water town, a mother is reflecting years later on the death of her son at the age of 24 in grad school. Her son had a business plan idea that she claims someone stole from him to profit from. His Mom, paralyzed in time from her loss, all of a sudden she learns a little more about his death and sets out to confront the intellectual property thief as well as for other answers of his final day. As expected, during her journey she learns more about herself and deals with the sorrow a mother feels about a tragedy of that nature. Will she be able to finally emotionally move past? Holly Hunter carries the movie so if you are a fan, you'll enjoy her performance. It was professional produced with solid acting and fine cinematography.

I think the movie could of told more about the son Walker, didn't really get to know him.

Holly Hunter and Carrie Coon together in one movie? I signed on to this immediately upon stumbling on it randomly on Netflix. Hunter is a boss in this role, as usual. The movie might be a little slow but the acting pushes it forward nicely and I really enjoyed it.

The movie itself was just ok. However it did capture the American south in the scenery, characters, etc. I liked it just for that reason.

Global warming aside, I very much enjoyed this Film. Wonderful performance by Holly Hunter as Darcy. Tight script, loved the dialogue between the female characters, especially Glenne Headly with that distinctive voice and delivery. RIP Nice way to spend an afternoon with a Cup of Tea and maybe a Puff or 2 to cushion the sad parts.
