Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) by Bikerjames — 22 Jan 2018
There is an art to making quirky films. The Coen Bros., Wes Anderson, David Lynch are all masters of the genre. They make films that are quirky and yet somehow believable. This film has moments that are so over the top they would never happen in real life.
For example, there is a scene where a teenager at a school throws a soda on the Frances McDormand character's car, and the way she handles it would never happen in real life, and there were no consequences for her actions.
In fact, she does several outrageous things without any consequences. There are other unbelievable outrageous moments that I won't go into. Other times the quirkiness works, so it's a mixed bag for me.
This movie is definitely not a visitor's guide for the state of Missouri as most of the town are portrayed as bigots, including the police force. The acting was stellar throughout. Lastly, I hated the ending.
