How this movie got a nomination for best picture is beyond me. The only thing good is Adam Driver's acting. He is the only character worth any sympathy in the film. The rest just don't cut it in my opinion. And the story itself is horrible. One hint - the movie has an "R" rating only because when the characters had nothing else to say, the script had them throw in an f-bomb. Dern and Liotta are two dimensional stereotypes that play on the hackneyed joke of "we all hate lawyers." I didn't care about any character. Frankly, I found myself thinking the leads deserved to be miserable, because they were doing their best to make everyone around them miserable. So no, I don't get why or how this could be an Oscar worthy film.
