The three views of this film are indeed a bit wrong.
This ending also shows that the director acquiesced to the concept of "father's love is greater than the law".
As a film with murder as a clue, when it comes to legal judgments, the director and screenwriter must stand on the side of justice. This is the principle.
Characters can be selfish, like the father and daughter in the film—the father only sees the daughter, and the daughter only sees himself.
Characters can also be great, like Matt Damon, the father in the film, who loves his daughter more than himself.
But don't take the complexity of the world and the multifaceted nature of human nature as the fulcrum of the movie's distorted values. This is unsupportable.
In addition, it cannot be compared with "Three Billboards".
The atmosphere of the movie is the same as the name "Still Water City". The river in the city is slow, calm, flowing into the distance... Slowly, like time, without ripples.
"Three Billboards" has a grumpy atmosphere, it's raging fire, it's heart-wrenching, and it's three consecutive questions from the soul.
Both films are full of helplessness, but the former is "introverted helplessness" and the latter is "extroverted helpless".
