“Three
Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri” stars Frances McDormand, Lucas Hedges,
Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell in this story of a mother seeking to find the
killer of her teen age daughter and the lengths she takes to attempt to activate
the local police force to accelerate its investigation. This is a well written
and directed film by noted playwright Martin McDonagh as he guides the audience
through the many complexities faced by each character in the story. This film,
despite its 2 hour length, left this writer with disappointment that it ended
and this is in no small part due to the perfect blending of fine acting,
writing and directing resulting in a positive theatrical experience. I give the
film 3 and ½ stars with a suggestion that Ms. McDormand begin drafting her
Oscar acceptance speech as soon as possible.
