Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) by Jluis_001 — 31 Dec 2017

Well this is it, my last film of 2017.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the best closing film I could have asked for. An intelligent and interesting story that manages to combine a good drama with elements of black comedy that although provide some relief, never make you lose sight of the rawness of the story that is narrating.

Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell deliver very good performances, especially McDormand who gives a strength and fierceness to her character that makes her at the same time admirable and resolute.

I admit that the movie has certain pauses of rhythm that can feel weird but in reality they don't affect the general performance of the story or the characters. The film is solid and remains so until the ending, which although it's ambiguous and does not really solve anything, as a spectator I didn't feel disappointed, because as it happens many times in real life with similar cases like the one that drives this film, it's that unfortunately, sometimes we don't get justice or answers. It's not nice but that's life. If you haven't seen it, do it.
