Autistic Reviewers Opinion Of This Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2017)

Writer And Director Martin McDonagh (who's previous films were In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths) returns with his latest film "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and in all seriousness it is the best film he has done. It's no wonder why this film is getting awards left right and center.
The plot is as good and simple as it can be: Mildred is depressed and grieving over the killing and rape of her daughter. She lives in a world of misery and in a world where she will never smile nor say anything nice to anybody. She is a grieving Mother who decides to challenge the authorities to find her daughter's killer by putting up Three Billboards. The local Sheriff(s) get really annoyed with this and start to take action.
Frances McDormand plays Mildred and she takes on the role so so well! She could have played the whole movie in such a depressed way (which is exactly how her character is), but she decides to be a depressed, broken Mother making witty and crude jokes around every corner, and Frances McDormand does it so well! It's as if the role was written for her. Woody Harrelson plays Willoughby, a local Sheriff who is very tough, but at the same time can sympathize with Mildred. He plays his role so well and steals the first half of the movie. The second half of the movie lies in the hands of Sheriff Dixon (played by Sam Rockwell.) Dixon comes across as a cold blooded monster who does nothing but drink all day and live with his mother, but the more we get to know his character the more we start to realize he's not a little mummy's boy who is mean and drunk, it all starts showing just how good at his job he really is. Dixon is also a racist person, but as more stuff happens to him during the film we start to realize he opens up to reality and life a little more. Sam Rockwell is also another reason I believe they wrote this character for!
All in all this will be my last review of this year. But the music is incredible, the cinematography is beautiful, the editing is astounding and like I said before the acting is amazing. Without spoiling the ending this movie has a strong message "How far will you go for revenge?" But Frances Mcdormand and Sam Rockwell totally deserve the Oscar for their roles.
The movie could have been an all through drama, but Martin McDonagh decides instead of making us all focus on all the depression ad pain he decides to make us have a chuckle and laugh at least every minute or two! It's all thanks to the actors for making it all dramatic and comedic at the same time! Absolutely stunning film. I'm giving it 5/5 stars. If you haven't seen it go and see it. You will not be disappointed. I loved every second of it. Jay (one of The Autistic Reviewers).
