Frances McDormand leads a stellar cast in a dark comedy centering around Mildred, a woman whose daughter was brutally murdered, and who is furious over the local police’s lack of progress in finding the murderer.  She paints three nearby billboards with a message to shame the sheriff about the state of the investigation, and violence spirals from there.  Billboards’ characters struggle with anger, guilt and revenge, while the movie builds inexorably to a moral reckoning and (potential) redemptive ending.  Directed by Martin McDonagh, 2017, U.S., 1 hour, 55 minutes, English.

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is one of those truly rare films that feels both profound and grounded; inspirational without ever manipulatively trying to be so. Very few recent movies have made me laugh and cry in equal measure as much as this one. Very few films recently are this good.
