Three Billboards... finds writer/director Martin McDonagh back on blistering top form. Cancer, police brutality, rape, murder...this fearlessly jet-black comedy/drama sees this microcosm of small-town America arrive fully-formed, with its hilariously profane and at times offensive dialogue and tone that takes shockingly abrupt turns in an instant. The lead cast is staggeringly strong, led by the magnificent Frances McDormand, with terrifically sensitive work by Woody Harrelson and another superb demonstration of character-building by Sam Rockwell, and eye-catching smaller roles for Peter Dinklage, Amanda Warren and Lucas Hedges. Managing to be laugh-out-loud funny, occasionally shocking and utterly engrossing, Three Billboards... is a terrific achievement and hugely entertaining.
