Powerful and flawed like its characters.

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2018)

3 Billboards has some tour-de-force performances no doubt, gripping your emotions at times to the point of squirming in your chair, but it definitely lags in certain parts, unnecessarily in my opinion, and the dialogue comes across more theatre-like than natural - no doubt attributed to McDonagh's insistence on sticking to the script like a religious text. That being said, it is a masterful piece of cinema from people who know how to create a great film.
