McDonagh's recent "tour de force"

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2018)

I must say, "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" stroke by surprise the entire movie industry by earning the Best picture (Drama) recently at the 2018 Golden Globes Ceremony. This Coen-ish piece offers more than the soft dark comedy we are used too with McDonagh and it seems that he's being recognized for his "homage" to the famous Brothers.
What begins as a simple drama about a mother who lost her daugther, quickly becomes a fluid, realistic though impredictable masterpiece who inspire genuine emotions from star actors Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson. As passionnated and talented as each other, we must give credit to McDormand who plays the leading role as a grieving yet frustated mother. Seriously, what a bad-ass character! She litterally elevates McDonagh's movie with her authenticity and her intensity. It's really one of those movies who can make you laugh out loud and cry vigorously in a minute-intervall. Credit to Rockwell who offer almost a breakthrough performance for those who haven't seen "Moon" (2009) a couple years ago. In the same vein, Harrelson gives us a touch of his classic black-humour performance with his well-crafted character. S/O to the entertaining soundtrack which fits almost perfectly with scenes.
I believe "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" is going to be a strong contender for the 2018 Oscars, especially in acting and writing categories.
A beautiful, well-acted though distorted piece you don't wanna miss this year!
