The best drama of the last decade

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2017)

"Three Billboards" is a funny, thrilling and heartfelt journey about life, understanding and forgiveness. Actually, very few movies can be funny, thrilling and heartfelt at the same time, and this is surely a great achievement by this movie.
The screenplay, acting, directing, music score, soundtrack, cinematography, makeup and production design are undoubtedly perfect and top-notch. Frances McDormand has long established herself as one of the best actresses of all time, and in this movie, she exhibits incredible abilities in line deliveries, facial expressions and body movements. Sam Rockwell also shines throughout the movie by perfectly playing a retarded yet heartwarming cop, and shows a clear transition. The music score is sensational, especially when the three billboards gets burned. The cinematography sometimes mimics one's gaze and is amazing. The screenplay is genius in the sense that you never know what is going to happen next.
There are several moments that are simply unforgettable and touching. For example, Red forgives about Dixon, who beats him up, and offers him a cup of orange juice. Also, Dixon forgives Mildred, who burns him, and says "who else could it be". Mildred forgives his ex- husband, who burns her billboards, and does not throw the bottles on him. James covers up Mildred's crime and makes a dating story. The worker offers to rebuild Mildred's billboards after they are burned. An interesting thing in the movie is the two letters of Willoughby, one to Dixon and one to Mildred. In fact, the letter to Dixon changes his personality, and it really shocks me that when he gets burned, he still thinks of protecting the case files of Angela Hayes.
All in all, this is definitely the best film of 2017, and possibly the best of the last decade.
