Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri review

I like Martin McDonagh's films a lot. His dark sense of humour combines really well with the dark stories and characters he explores. Thankfully, Three Billboards is no different.

Frances McDormand plays a woman whose daughter was raped and murdered, and the criminal was never caught. In an attempt to find justice, she puts up three billboards to provoke the chief of police.

This is an excellent film. The way that the characters interactions and actions affect the story is brilliant. There is plenty of great humour, and fantastic dark drama. And the cast is excellent. Francis McDormand is the standout as the grieving mother, and Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell are both spectacular as police officers with different ideals.

In short: One of the best written, and executed films recently.
