Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

The desire for catharsis may be even greater than the thirst for revenge. That's not your usual inspiration for a major movie, but it turns out you can do quite well with it. And what kind of movie comes from such inspiration? A challenging film with rawness all over the screen, one with no real heroes, possibly no villain, and no clear resolution--just the brutal realities that life sometimes throws our way. And yet it still succeeds in being frequently and oddly funny throughout. Truly excellent work.
