Three Billboards--by now you know it's a great film

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2018)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) was written and directed by Martin McDonagh. By now, most people have either seen the movie or heard quite a bit about it. It's strange to write the 641st review. However, here it is.
If you want to see a great actor in a great movie, watch Frances McDormand in this film. Co-stars Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell do very well, but McDormand is perfect.
Scriptwriter McDonagh has given McDormand the demanding role of a mother whose daughter has been raped and murdered. McDormand is angry, and she's also guilty. That is a powerful recipe for action. McDormand isn't a likable character, but you can understand her rage and her pain.
This is a brilliant film and deserves all the positive reviews and awards that it has received.
This is a movie that you don't want to miss. We saw it at Rochester's excellent Little Theatre. It will work almost as well on the small screen. Once you've seen it, you'll never forget it.
