Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/



There are 3 old decrepit abandoned billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.





No one has used them since 1986 until Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) comes along and rents them to display a series of messages against the town's police and its police chief (Woody Harrelson) for failing to find the killer or killers of her teenage daughter, 7 months prior.

A deep moving sad and beautiful dark comedy. Frances McDormand should get her second Academy Awards nomination for Best Actress since she won it in 1997 for Fargo.

Woody Harrelson also deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Sam Rockwell shines in his role as the town's idiot cop and his acting deserves an Oscar too.

The rest of the cast is equally stellar: Abbie Cornish, Caleb Landry Jones, Zeljko Ivanek, Lucas Hedges, Peter Dinklage.

5/5
