"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri" Review - All This Matters

Well I’m frankly speechless. This film right here is one of the absolute best to come out this year. And it will most likely stay that way. “Three Billboards” is fantastic all 360 degrees around.

Frances McDormand gives one hell of a powerful performance that I think will give Meryl Streep and Margot Robbie a run for their money. And she is only surrounded by even more A+ talent ranging from Woody Harrelson to Sam Rockwell to Peter Dinklage.

This is one of those movies that really makes you think after you leave the theatre. It’s like “Get Out”, but in a different way. I think if “Get Out” was made into a dramity instead of a horror film, this is what you’d get (this should be submitted for best comedy, not Get Out). But “Get Out” dealt a lot with racism; this movie deals with the problems of the police. I know for a fact that there will be a slew of Trump supporters shitting all over this film because it attacks the police. If there’s one thing I learned in this past year and a half, it’s that whether cops do things the right way or the wrong way, lots will treat them like gods that deserve the right to rule over the land. “Three Billboards” shines a light on police corruption in the smartest way possible, and that is to highlight both the good and the bad.

For those that don’t know what this film is about, basically MdDormand’s character rents out three billboards to shame the police for not doing enough to solve the case of the murder of her daughter and focusing more on petty crimes. It results in a full out war between one women and the entire police department of this small Missouri town. This film does tackle racism a bit, but it more so takes at the punch on the issue of how police just focus on…well…petty crimes. That could be as McDormand’s character in the film says, “torturing black folks”, or it could be busting someone for smoking pot. But “Three Billboards” has a brilliant screenplay that not only tackles the good and bad of the police force, but the aftermath and suffering of losing someone you love, and doing what’s right for the greater good.

Boy I could go on and on, but this is a film that needs to be seen by everyone. Truly magnificent, uplifting, heartbreaking, eye-opening, and surprisingly very funny! This I would consider as of now, being in the top 3 for winning best picture. It’s gonna get a lot of hate from the people you’d expect, but that hate is just fake news.

Two Nebs Up!
