Saw it last summer at a weekday afternoon showing, (hadn't been in a movie theater in several years). I liked it; I don't see very many movies because nowadays Hollywood turns out pretty much nothing but garbage. But I gave this one a thumbs up.
A lot of people compare it to No Country for Old Men. Seen both and liked both. However I think Hell or High Water was better and much more enjoyable. It was kinda modern day western. Old fashioned good guys and bad guys movie.

I don't know too many old women that would cuss like that though. They might be just that mean and contrary, but they just didn't cuss back then as a matter of course like they do now.

Didn't mean just filming location, even though I mentioned it. Speaking of the named places. If it was NM however, they went to a lot of trouble to change the highway signs The people and their attitudes were definitely Texas however.

Used to be a similar café owner about 90 miles south of here in the middle of no where (Burns Junction, Or). One could look at a menu, but it was best to simply ask what she had.
Found it on Amazon. It wasn't there a couple of days ago. Streamed the standard version for $4.99 and it's good for a month.
It's definitely Texas. Olney and Archer City, been there many times. I was hoping for Seymour. Pretty sure there's a bank or two there.
I grew up in Graham about 30 miles from Olney. It was pretty much like the movie back in the 80's and 90's. A lot of hardcore oldschool type folks and hardworking oil men and ranchers back then made it a pretty solid community and good area to live in. Now that entire area is like a meth mecca...Still some good people around but a lot of drug related crime. Sad to see it go to [bleep]. The area is a little more modernized now than it was back then but a way worse place to live..
Bridges did a good job in that movie. Well worth watching IMO.
