But Kate Winslet is to watch out for in this layered role. To be honest, the generous sprinkling of characters of various ages, histories and baggage in such a plot seems a deliberate ploy to add mystery to the viewer's mind – especially when some of those characters don't really have a key role to play in the goings on. So who's up to these gruesome acts? Is it a serial killer or just some pervert on the loose? On the side, a relatively unknown stranger in town (Guy Pearce) takes a romantic interest in Mare, who also relents in an attempt to raise herself from rock bottom. The skeptical police chief feels the pressure from his bosses and has to call in a young, county detective (Evan Peters) to assist Mare with the murder. There's a strange warmth and comfort in the background, as the protagonist deals with her demons whilst trying to crawl out from a dark place she has slid into.Īlready dogged by an unsolved case of a missing girl – the daughter of a childhood friend, Mare finds herself in a situation where a young mother is murdered brutally. Written by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel, the plot may seem like a mix of the McConaughey-Harrelson season of "True Detective" and "Big Little Lies"– maybe not so intense as the former, but surely dark at some points.īut that's the interesting thing about "Mare Of Easttown" – it revolves around this generally laid back town where everyone seems to know each other, and Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) a weathered detective and divorced grandmother who seems to be running away and hiding from the weight of expectations that the town and her family has of her. Disclaimer: this perspective and opinion comes from someone who has been a Kate Winslet fan (and crushed on her) since he first saw the 1997 James Cameron epic "Titanic".
