It’s a story of a conflicted sheriff trying to solve a 40-year-old murder, and, in the course of his investigation, finds more than he bargained for. It’s what a movie should be: well-edited, strong plot, intelligent dialogue, and complex characters. This movie has strong performances from Chris Cooper, Elizabeth Peña, Frances McDormand, and Matthew McConaughey (in one of his earliest roles). —mrsandman29
