Vengeance
This is a hard movie to call: A libtard writer goes to Texas and gets involved with a family whose daughter has died. Or was she murdered? His only connection to the dead girl is a couple of hook-ups with her in New York.
Someone from Texas (or Arkansas) needs to put the final words on any review of this movie. But, yes, it starts out for all intents and purposes as: Libtard goes to Texas to make fun of the rednecks.
But, oddly, it takes a couple sideturns from there. I don't want to give anything away, but it's shocking to see a Libtard film that comes to the conclusion that the fault is not in the stars, it's in our Libtard selves.
Now, obviously any liberal watching this is going to have most of this go over their head. But some of the shots at modern culture are by no means subtle. The writer comes to the conclusion of the hollowness of his own self and the self-deception and baloney he's been involved in.
However, be forewarned. This reviewer at IMDb is right when she says (and it does seem like a she):
I think the libtard filmmakers were struggling with the warm-hearted and comedic aspects of this film. In an age where "serious" is defined by a sort of non-committal cynicism where nothing is taken seriously, can you possible even leave a film to be light and heart-warming?
No, you can't. So you do (particularly at the end) have this scatterbrained tone were the Libtard version of "serious" is inserted because – well, I don't think these people actually know how to live the lives they portrayed in this film. In some sense, the film could be an unintentional self-examination of Libtardom even as it does quite explicitly in the film offer some critiques of Libtardom. The producers, to their credit, did take one step out of Libtardom. But the other foot was still firmly planted in it.
At the end of the day, the themes we speak of here are confirmed: A glib culture that is hooked on "social media" and finding evermore trivial forms of "meaning" is a culture that is sick and half insane.
So watch the movie and tell me what you think.

Unfortunately, with ambition also comes a scatterbrained tone in this case. There are so many jarring tonal shifts between comedy, dark drama, and ponderous dialogue. This also makes for a plot that feels all over the place and often directionless.
