The title and ending are worth thinking about

The director of the film's debut, Macon Blair, is the leading actor in Cannes' "Blue Ruins" two years ago, so it's no wonder that the two films have a similar gloomy tone and unpredictable plot direction. The last moment was a silly comedy routine that made people laugh at it, but in a blink of an eye it fell into a bloody and violent display scene, and even an abrupt mix of the two elements (for example, the heroine couldn't help but vomit when she saw the rich man's hand was cut off by a gun) , I really don't know whether to shock the audience or to laugh wildly. The director is happy to play with elements of different genres, making the roller coaster-like plot more rigidly connected. However, it is more successful in character characterization, especially the interpretation of the heroine, so that the credibility of the story will not be greatly compromised. On the surface, this seems like an absurd farce, but in essence it should depict the realistic dilemma of ordinary people trying their best to regain their dignity in a life of resignation and perilous life. The title and ending of the film are worth thinking about, and winning this year's Sundance Awards can be regarded as a resentment for the audience.
