One of the best films of 2017!

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2018)

I came into "Three Billboards" with zero expectations. I hadn't seen the trailer. I knew nothing about the premise. I was just there to watch the 9 Best Picture Nominees for 2017 and this was one of them.
I walked out of this film knowing that it was one of my favorite films of the year and my top film out of the Best Picture Nominees.
"Three Billboards" is about a woman who's daughter was raped and murdered, yet the local police have tossed her case to the side, so in order to get their attention, the woman (played by Frances McDormand) buys advertising on Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (the name of the film) directed with controversy towards the chief of the police station.
All of a sudden, the chief starts looking over the case again.
If this was any other film, it would've been a predictable Life Time TV movie. It's not though. Unlike other films, there were predictions that I made, subconsciously, and the actual outcomes were completely out of left field. I was constantly shocked at some of the events that actually happened, making this a very entertaining film.
All of the lead actors had phenomenal performances, so it was no wonder that Frances McDormand was up for Best Actress and Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson were both up for Best Actor.
"Three Billboards" was a special film and if you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely make it a priority!
