Rightfully so, this is some of their best (if not their best) work these eyes have beheld and they steal the show in every film they're in. One of the most talked about elements to this film are the strong performances particularly by Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell. It's obvious great care was taken into this script and the method in which it's constructed.

The movie balances its seemingly contradictory tones beautifully by crafting a dark comedy that feels heavy due to strong subject matter, while at the same time, utilizing comedic moments that feel completely natural to the character's motivations. Nothing feels sugarcoated of fluffed but it never lacks emotional impact either.
We're presented with characters and their genuine emotions.
The story shows people in a realistic light I've never quite seen before. "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri" is packed with questions and a few answers about anger, revenge, violence, and kindness. What begins as a narrow and focused drama, gradually escalates to a film with big themes and ideas, relevant social commentary, and much more subplots than anticipated. With outstanding screen writing and near perfect editing, this powerhouse of a film is easily one of the best all year and is driven with force and intensity by its lead, Frances McDormand. "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri" marks a milestone for writer/directer Martin McDonagh and is an idea piece on a mother's struggle with her town after posting billboards containing a call to action in regards to her murdered daughter.
