Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) by Zedzded — 29 Jan 2018

Awwww man, the first half was amazing but the second half.... well I could barely watch it. way to squander what was a great idea. Great performance from Frances McDormand but I just started to lose compassion for her half way through when she continuously did spiteful and nasty things with no justification and absolutely no repercussions. That coupled with the 1 dimensional rendering of the redneck racists and stupid cops just left a bad taste in the mouth. Also cheesy voiceovers from dead people... no thanks.

I think the deer scene was the moment for me when this one jumped the shark. If you're going to have CGI in your movie, it better be absolutely flawless. If it looks like a badly lit cut out or a glitchy render then you have shattered the illusion of reality and every minor flaw becomes magnified in scrutiny.
