Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) by Lisa H — 21 Apr 2018

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 4 out of 5 - This movie is a dark comedy meets drama. Its about a mother trying to bring attention to her daughter's murder even though it appears to have gone cold. This is one of those movies that you just need to watch all the way through to get the whole story the ending may upset some but it makes this film seem more realistic as it is loosely based on a real story. All of the actors in this film performed wonderfully. I was pleasantly surprised by this film as a lot of you may be as well. So go watch this now as it is available Digital, DVD or on Blu-Ray.

According to Wikipedia here are all of the Awards the film was either nominated for or won this year.

This movie is a RENT. I'm not 100% sure if it is worth buying as it may not be worth multiple viewings. It might be one that you watch when it comes on T.V.
