I'd been meaning to watch this movie for a while because it looked offbeat and interesting. Turns out it was both.
The cast here is superb throughout and so is the acting, by everyone. Lots of familiar faces and some newer ones and they all do a great job. And of course Margo Martindale is always fun to watch. The story is a bit muddled and can be slow moving at times but for those here who are complaining that there wasn't an ending there certainly was, you just have to pay attention.
The movie captured the atmosphere of a small, gritty Maine town perfectly, both with the characters and the cinematography. The same with the characters. The story was a bit of a stretch but not so much that it loses the viewer. I enjoyed the story and most of all the great cast. There are much worse movies out there these days believe me. My only real sticking point was the singing fisherman. I know some here loved them, I found then beyond annoying and after the second musical interlude I found myself hitting the mute button on my remote. They could have lost them and I think it would have been an improvement.
