McDonagh's best film bar none.

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2018)

Frances McDormand plays a grieving mother who has had enough of the ineptitude of the local police in catching her daughter's rapists and murderers. She puts three billboards up near the town highlighting her feelings and the town's residences instantly takes a disliking to them. Things get steadily worse when it is revealed that Willoughby, the town's chief named in one of the billboards, has cancer.
The movie has that amazing, rare ability to carefully balance humour and darkness at the same time. It weaves in various social issues through Mcdonagh's signature wit and political incorrectness. One minute I was tearing up at the sad predicament some of the characters were going through, the next, I was laughing my head off at their hilarious dialogue.
It's a movie about female rage at the lack of interest in finding justice for sex crimes. Certainly as relevant today as ever.
