Currently on Netflix. The movie got nearly universal positive professional reviews and scored a 79% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movie stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as investigators of the disappearance of somebody named Amelia (Margaret Qualley).

It is very hard to care about anybody in this film as they all pretty much are terrible people. It is practically a farce parade and I kept waiting for someone to care about and any reason to care. Finally after about 60 minutes, I asked my spouse if he was getting into this at all. After about five more minutes he also was in the same space: enough is enough, turn it off.

I loved this movie. The fact that they're terrible people is the point, like Seinfeld or Always Sunny. It's more of a comedy than a serious movie

like Seinfeld or Always Sunny

That helps. As it turns out, I didn't care for these either. At least I know I have a type now. Appreciate it.
