The female protagonist Camile is a young reporter who does not seek to be motivated. Because of a murder in her hometown, she was sent by the editor-in-chief to investigate and report. However, her hometown did not give her the warmth she deserved. The police's precautions and the residents' avoidance all caused her troubles, especially the coldness from her mother. She didn't even plan to let her in on the first night. The entire investigation process is torture for Camile, the scars of the past are reluctantly uncovered, and the truth is the most brutal.
The background of this film is a small town in the United States today. There is no prosperity and advancement in the Western world as we think, where time has stagnated, children have no hope, and adults live in a daze. The Camile family is a big and famous family there. Her mother's life has been stuck in a false aristocratic life that she has woven. The whole town is like a small society closed from the inside, sticking to old traditions, covering up scandals, not Changes are allowed.
Camile's childhood was dark and cold. Her innocent, enthusiastic and curious nature did not meet her mother's requirements. The confrontation with her mother was also the reason for her sluggishness. This film is interspersed with the heroine's childhood memories. The interlaced time and space seem to be dreams, but they are actually lost memories. Forgetting is also a way of healing. I don't want to remember, because the memory is also sharp, and it will hurt myself unexpectedly.
Camile is played by Amy Adams and the mother is played by Patricia Clarkson. The burnout and despair of Camile is so beautiful, and the delicacy of her mother is crazy, so beautiful. Advanced performances have their own aura.
The show won a bunch of nominations for major awards, and finally won two best actresses and two best supporting actresses.
