Wonderful dark comedy

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2018)

A story of desperation and revenge as darkly funny as it is tragically bleak, "Three Billboards" pushing characters far beyond their traditional archetypes. The movie is one of the angriest films in recent memory and a wonderful dark comedy. It has moments of hilarious comedy and sincere tenderness, along with acts of nearly unwatchable violence. Despite Martin McDonagh's magnificently rich story filled with complexities and twisting turns and the well written dialogues, it's the strength of the performances from Frances McDormand (whose expressive eyes show every thought and capture the depths of her pain), Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell that keeps "Three Billboards" up. A great movie!
