Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Review

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a fantastic movie and worthy of all the awards it is earning. This movie is about a mother who challenges the police to solve her daughter's murder by putting up billboards to taunt them. This movie is incredible from start to finish. Frances McDormand gives an amazingly emotional performance as a mother just trying to cope with the loss of her daughter. Woody Harrelson also gives a fantastic performance as the police chief who's struggling with some personal issues of his own. Peter Dinklage and Caleb Jones also give great performances in smaller side roles However, this movie belongs to Sam Rockwell's rookie racist Police Officer He steals every single scene he's in. For such a serious premise this movie is shockingly hilarious. There is almost nonstop humor throughout the entire film. Director and Writer Martin McDonagh deserve massive credit for balancing the humor and serious moments perfectly. At 115 minutes the movie moves along at a good pace never going too slow or too fast. As for flaws, I am personally not a huge fan of the abrupt ending.  Overall Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a fantastic movie that's much more worth your time than other awards films.
