Just saw it yesterday, and I loved every second. The acting was fantastic all-around (although Eastwood steals the show), the jokes landed beautifully, the action(esque) scenes were tense and clever, the plot was coherent and moving, and the characters developed gradually and nicely.
I'd love to praise it more, but I do not want to spoil anything. Don't miss this one.

spoilers?
My only criticism is that it had a slightly preachy after-school-special element going on.
Loved how they made two confessions one for the priest and one for the boy. Thought that was clever cinematography/writing.
The grandmas subtitled bit made me laugh out loud as did much of the racial stuff.
I liked how they really did make him a racist, they sort of tried to lighten it a bit with the whole Barber man talk thing, but when he goes to the doctor you can see, yeah he really is racist.
That greedy snot-nosed granddaughter took the cake. She got 'deserves to be smacked' down to a T.
I wish the guy that plays rorschach had a voice like Clints. He sounds to me like a watered down Dark Knight / Scream phone guy voice. No one can touch clints gravely voice.
