The highlight of the mother's performance is full of the whole film. Without her acting film will be much inferior. The most disturbing thing is that the ex-husband said, "Why did my daughter ask me if I can live with me a week before he died, and I told her, stay home, mother loves you very much." After hearing this, the mother collapsed immediately and twisted her face. She said twice, "I don't believe you!!!" The painful interpretation that was suddenly pierced was well explained. She knew it was true, but she didn't want to believe it. This kind of complicated and contradictory mood could be seen in her eyes. See. Seeing that time, I felt very uncomfortable. In another scene, Sam called the mother after learning that the man he was looking for was not the murderer. She said, "I don't have a day to spend in hope like today" and she kept hammering her nose, she could see the same disintegration, and then she accepted the mother who was still strong. That kind of helplessness, the last bit of hopelessness, was also reflected in her expression, which made me feel pity and emotion after seeing it.

As for Sam, what impressed me was that the black police officer told him that the man was not the murderer he thought. He was dull for a moment after listening, and his expression immediately changed, and he felt unbelievable. Then he said "what!" Then his expression would definitely change. He changed very well, showing that a little policeman thought he really had some effect but finally had no joy in his doubts. That's the highlight of Sam's performance.

    Before I saw it, I heard many people describe it as radical, angry, and absurd, but I only saw gentleness and sadness.

    When I watched it, I’ve been thinking about how it will end. The last step out of town is to leave this stage-this over-idealized stage, a town where no one will be caught no matter what they do-if it's an American drama, They will definitely be driven back to town in the middle of the next episode (season) for some reason.
