People are complicated creatures. We’re all capable of
cruelty and kindness, anger and compassion. Everyone’s part good, everyone’s
part shit. It’s this internal dichotomy that drives Martin McDonagh’s
pitch-black comedy/drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
Missouri, and it’s why his characters are more complex and authentic than
those we often find on screen. They’re brutally flawed, but devastatingly
human. It doesn’t hurt that the phenomenal cast all give career best
performances, or at least damn close.
