Why Nora Thompson is a racist, misanthropist, slutty and lying character is not made clear. The reasons like child bride may even be a lie in itself. Kudos to Ms. Tingley for portraying all these bad qualities so well especially the almost pornographic hand-job scene.
The truth of how Earl met his maker is not clear, likewise with Nora's explanation on how Earl died, likely to be a lie as well. There is a lot of lying in this movie that maybe it is up to the viewer to interpret.
The dark sides in each character need to be clarified for better appreciation. I saw that in Monty, played by a great actor. His reason for being bad is more clearly enunciated. I wish the movie would have been redemptive, but that is a bias in itself.
