The Whole Package

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2018)

A hallmark of a great movie is one that can make you laugh, think, and cry (or at least become emotional) simply through viewing it. Three Billboards is great in this way. Themes contemplating grief and anger, and how they shape us are evident throughout. There is one scene of violence framed in a way that churns the stomach. And a healthy dose of black comedy provides levity (and occasional sly societal commentary) throughout. Three Billboards is one to cherish.
