Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) by Bkm — 07 Feb 2018
McDonagh's attempt to blend dark comedy with pathos isn't as effective here as it was in the masterful In Bruges. Much of that failure is due to the fact that this is a movie that is burning with anger which causes the comedic bits to feel jarring.
The film also has a lot on its mind and struggles to adequately find a narrative foothold. McDormand and Rockwell give strong performances, but ultimately the whole affair gets away from them.
