Frances Ferguson is discontent. Like a lot of us, she does a bit of “acting out” and pays the price —an arrest, a trial, incarceration. And then a new identity, one that’s not terribly comfortable.
Acting
Kaley Wheless delivers devastating blankness — you can't look away.
Writing
Bob Byington's script treats scandal like Tuesday afternoon.
Direction
74 minutes of precise, unflinching observation. No fat, all cringe.

Director
Bob Byington
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Lincoln, Nebraska with a crew of about eight people. The budget was reportedly under $500K.
Released during peak 'difficult woman' TV era but as a feature — Frances predates similar antiheroines like Fleabag's second season by months.
