Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2017]

It has Frances McDormand in it! Need I say more?! The rest of the cast was outstanding. The best movie, by far, I saw in 2017!

The Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri is a good movie to watch, Frances McDormand never gave up she was determine to get justice for what had happened to her daugther, although some of the things that she done was not right, put she finally got her point across to Woody Harrelson which turned out to be a very sad ending for him and his family and also Sam Rockwell who was against her finally teamed up with her at the end to help her out.

My favorite film of 2008 was “In Bruges”, the directing debut of Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, and now McDonagh furthers his art with his third film, “Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri”, a sort of dark comic crime film that is really a complex character study of a disgruntled mother upset at a town’s failure to solve the murder of her teenage daughter to the point she rents three billboards outside the town to call attention to the unsolved murder. Frances McDormand plays the grieving divorced mother, Mildred Hayes, in a performance that might even surpass her Oscar-winning role in the Coen Brothers’ 1996 “Fargo”. She’s cynical, angry at the core, street-smart while flawed, and her inner journey is rightly the film’s main focus. But she isn’t the only character sketch that fascinates in this film. Two other characters display important moral arcs: the town sheriff Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson, surprisingly the most likeable) and, most significantly, Officer Dixon (a career best performance by Sam Rockwell that seems the film’s most memorable). The movie’s brilliant wit and marvelous interactive dialogue is matched by McDonagh’s handling of the actors and control of the visual style, while keeping the humanity of the characters at the forefront as he deftly manages to circumvent the clichés always found in these kind of movies. Highly recommended as a remarkably composed portrait of small town America, it sends viewers out of the theater to contemplate moral questions concerning justice, revenge, anger and forgiveness.

It is one of the year’s most entertaining movies.

Never heard of this movie, but the cast was amazing. Took a chance and couldn't be happier. Intense drama with a sense of humor at times.

Francis McDormand plays a mother fed-up with a small town police office that has been less than diligent trying to solve the death of her daughter seven months in the past. Woody Harrelson is the police chief trying to make sense of a bunch of misfit employees; one of these eventually "rights' himself to eventually come to the aid of Francis McDormand's character. Francis gets the balls rolling bankrolling three billboards to goad the sheriff into action even though he is fighting his own battle with life.

No complaints at all with the movie. Acting, directing, story line, and emotions conveyed in the movie are tremendous. Being said, buy the 1080p version. There is basically no Atmos (being it is a Drama, I was not expecting anything special), and HDR usage is very minimal. Would definitely buy the movie again, but would purchase the 1080p version.

This is a great drama movie to own and watch on a rainy day. It comes with a digital version for your vudu account and other streaming services.
