A Work of Craftsmen

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2017)

Three Billboard's is a movie that stays with you for a while. And I'm not just talking about the "Walk Away Renee" earworm that came with my viewing.
The story is so unpredictable, you're left with the realization that the main story is not really the main story.
The characters are rich and complex in a demographic that could easily devolve into clichés in the hands of a lesser skilled writer.
The dialog is witty and funny while managing not to be too clever for its own good.
To adequately describe the acting this movie would take way too long. Top notch performances all around.
The pacing and precise balance of humor and drama reveal Martin McDonagh's mastery of writing and directing. In my opinion, this is his best work yet.
