Great Acting, Unrealistic Plot

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2018)

I was glad that not every review here gave this 10 stars and that several reviews pointed out the absurd, giant plot holes. After about an hour, you start to lose track of all the felonies that Frances and Sam commit (and get away with Scott free). My favorite is when the 3 billboards were set afire, but then only the paper was burned and the rickety old rotted-wood frames remained in great shape.
I get that love and desperation make a mother do crazy things, but drilling into a doctor, kicking children in the crotch, firebombing a police station four times, etc., was simply too far-fetched.
But my favorite peeve is with Woody. The loving father. He commits suicide, so his family will now get Zero life insurance. And to make it worse, he takes his last $5,000 and instead of leaving it to his two adorable girls, he gives it to the local troublemaker. Now THAT is a man who has his priorities straight!
