Threes Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.
You can't have simple feelings about the characters in this movie. That's because they're never done sorting through their own feelings about everything.
I thought one thing about Sam Rockwell's character until he showed me something else. And same for Frances McDormand. And to some degree, Woody Harrelson.
The decision those characters face at the end of the movie seem to place it out of the hands of the filmmakers themselves.
I really enjoyed that. It's difficult to watch the pain and anger these people go through, and it's a movie that questions what we're supposed to do with it. Whether we chose to serve somebody a bottle of wine or bash their head in with it.
McDormand and Rockwell are so effective, because we can see what they're thinking, but they don't clue us what actions they'll take as a result.
Intriguing story/script, raw acting, and excellent small-town USA scenery. Lots of familiar actors turn up for support, but the three mentioned actors carry the bulk of the story.
