Funny, brutal and breathtakingly beautiful. Two exceptionally raw lead performances, supercharged by a bold script from Martin McDonagh, could make Three Billboards this year’s Awards-upsetter.

The movie represents a leap forward for writer-director Martin McDonagh. Three Billboards is as clever and imaginative as McDonagh’s “In Bruges,” in terms of how it makes characters collide in delightful and unexpected ways.

Wonderful movie. Cleansed my palate after watching (most of) "One Battle After Another", the worst movie I ever saw. Frances McDormand's immaculate performance, superb dialogue and many interesting characters elevate a movie whose main storyline is unoriginal into an outstanding achievement. Engrossing throughout.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a terrific film. All the characters are intriguing and the dialogues are very funny.
The writing is just perfect. The characters are all very unique, while non of them are pure perfection or pure evil. My favourite character is Bill, he seemed to be the nicest person, who didn't always complain even though he probably had the biggest problem. This movie is definitely about character drama, but the dialogues are extremely funny and I loved that. The plot is also very intriguing.
The cinematography is gorgeous, I loved the landscape shots. The production design is vivid and colourful. The pacing is perfect, I didn't want the movie to end, it never felt boring. The score is also beautiful. The acting performances were spectacular. Woody Harrelson was my favourite, while Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell were outstanding too.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is perfectly-written, gorgeously-shot and it has a few memorable acting performances.

It is a film that continually complicates and recomplicates itself, denying viewers the comfort of easy moral footing. It is by turns heartbreaking, harrowing in its violence, and very, very funny, and it features Oscar-level performances by Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell.

While the film continues almost throughout to generate great whoops of shocking laughter, it's the notes of genuine sorrow, compassion and contrition that resonate.

This is a film that’s proudly impertinent but also deeply morally serious. And even if Three Billboards doesn’t always hold together, that’s appropriate for its anxious characters who are, themselves, a little unsteady.

However commanding and absorbing Three Billboards may be, the film is diminished by its neatness and unconvincing resolutions to the many dilemmas it puts into play.

McDormand could have carried this film all the way through a minefield of touchy topics, singed but with all parts in the right place, primed for a painful laugh. But goddamnit if the cops in this story didn’t ruin all the fun.

Стоять на своем до конца
«Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri» — это британско-американский драматический фильм режиссёра Мартина Макдонаха. Релиз в США состоялся 10 ноября 2017 года, в Великобритании фильм вышел на экраны 12 января 2018 года. Спустя несколько месяцев после убийства дочери Милдред Хейс преступники так и не найдены. Отчаявшаяся женщина решается на смелый шаг — арендует на въезде в город три билборда и оставляет на них послание главе полиции Уильяму Уиллоуби. Когда в ситуацию оказывается втянут ещё и заместитель шерифа Диксон, инфантильный маменькин сынок со склонностью к насилию, борьба между Милдред и властями города только усугубляется.
Звук: Играет всякое, но я на это не обратил внимание.
Картинка: С точки зрения визуального восприятия, даже в отдалённых уголках США может быть более живописной, чем в России. Это вызывает чувство грусти.
Персонажи: Я заметил, как коп превращается в детектива. Это было приятно видеть. Среди главных героев — мать-одиночка, чью дочь убили. Ей нечего терять, и она хочет найти убийцу. Среди второстепенных персонажей — шериф, который переживает за дело об убийстве дочери главной героини. Но он ничего не может сделать из-за отсутствия доказательств.
Сюжет: Мать убитой дочери не может прийти в себя, пока убийца остаётся на свободе. Она обвиняет всех подряд: полицию, судьбу. На какие только жертвы и поступки она не идёт, чтобы справиться с горем. Действие происходит в ~2015 году, но камер тогда не было, и это кажется странным.
Итог: Смысл фильма в том, чтобы не сдаваться. Но стоит ли рисковать всей жизнью, чтобы найти насильника и убийцу, если шансы на успех невелики? Я, к сожалению, не могу этого понять, потому что никогда не сталкивался с такой ситуацией. Я не люблю открытые финалы. Мне бы хотелось, чтобы фильм заканчивался простой моралью: не сдалась — нашла убийцу. Но этот фильм о сложном. Для меня он оказался слишком запутанным или абстрактным. Однако мне понравилась чёрная сатира и юмор в фильме.

Wonderfully crafted in terms of complex, multi-layered characters, and an unpredictable plot. And while I appreciate the story is up for interpretation, there wasn't much about the big picture and the whole point and meaning to really move me or captive me in any way.

I loved In Bruges and also love all the performances in this movie but that is all I can say that is possitive about this laughably terrible movie. I can't understand where all the rave reviews are coming from. Nothing in this movie rings true and the overall message is lost on me. If it was meant to be funny it fails completely. None of the characters are believable or likeable and within about 20 minutes I was groaning at all the actions and dialogue. Really atrocious, so shocking as I was expecting a great movie from all the buzz and praise this movie was getting. Some parts, like the voice over of one of the characters reading letters made me wonder how they convinced this actor to read these lines at all. Baffling!
