Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Movie, 2017)

The story follows a clear narrative but not a predictable one and the cast performances are nothing short of amazing. The story, the script, the performances, all brilliantly conceived and played out to keep you on the edge of your seat. 

Set in the small Midwest town from the title, Frances McDormand delivers a magnificent performance as Mildred Hayes, a tortured soul who places three billboards with attacks against the local police force for failing to heavily investigate the rape and murder of her teenage daughter.

Through grief and loss, Martin McDonagh's characters shine in spectacular fashion, depicting angered souls who all are trying to do what they feel is right, while also learning the importance of forgiveness and empathy.
