Feel-good story, great acting, not so good plot consistency.

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2018)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a film about a frustrated and angry mom whose daughter was violently murdered. It's the story of her quest for justice, filled with emotion, comedy, action, and a good dose of social commentary.
The film is enjoyable. The viewer is on the side of the main character, and while she doesn't get her final justice, she nevertheless comes out as a winner. She's a bad-ass who doesn't let anyone get in her way. At times rude, but definitely some kind of role model.
It's unfortunate that its writing is less than stellar and its plot has many inconsistencies. From the lack of consequences for crimes committed in broad daylight, to the almost descriptive nature of some of the more emotional scenes (the monologue with the deer was cringe-worthy), there's a break in immersion that really undercuts the film's better aspects.
I give it a 7/10 for "good." Not "very good," but not just "enjoyable." It's a good movie.
