Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: a Marvellous Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2018)

In any form of art things are different from real life. Even the greatest artist can't tell a story exactly the way it went: fiction and reality are two different things. And they should stay that way otherwise you wouldn't enjoy watching a movie or reading a book: you'd be watching a documentary or reading a handbook.
The realm of Fiction is lifelike representation, in all its styles (which could be many) and this movie is a masterpiece of a new American genre, that still doesn't have a name but counts some illustrious predecessors such as 'Hell or High Water, 2016'.
The script is as good as its characters, which are fantastic. And the cast displays infinite art in playing them (I dare you not to be impressed by Sam Rockwell, above all).
So it's not a real story but is a beautiful one. And whereas Reality can be nice, Fiction can be marvellous.
