Movie Review ~ Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)



My son called one afternoon to tell me he had watched a great movie and he knew I was going to love it.  He's usually wrong but I watched the movie anyway and he was right.

This story has so many comedic elements to keep it from becoming unappealingly maudlin and the quirky characters are meant to be loved, liked, or hated in turn.  I felt this for each character.

The trailer tells the basic plot quite well.  Be prepared for some violence and coarse language.
