Dir. Martin McDonagh, UK, 2017, 115mins. Cast. Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish.
This is a pitch-black comedic drama featuring a blistering central performance from Frances McDormand. It’s been seven months since her daughter was murdered and foul-mouthed, tough-as-nails Mildred Hayes, fuelled by grief and outraged that the police investigation has gone quiet provokes the local police department with a series of messages plastered on three disused billboards outside her home town. So begins a rapidly escalating and very public feud. McDonagh’s latest exploration of the American psyche is by turns riotously funny and deeply sobering, cutting to the quick of social division and tearing to shreds the all-American dreaminess of the Capra-esque small town.
