I want to meet Sam Rockwell So Bad.
I Love All Three of these Actors! Amazing!
Dixon's character arc was so damn satisfying to see. Fantastic film.
The ending, haunting right.
Utterly brilliant writing, acting. Best film for years.
In Bruges and seven psychopaths are better films than three billboards. Better comedy.
It’s pleasant to watch an interview as respectful and interesting as this, thank you !

It's weird to think that Sam Rockwell is actually older than Martin McDonagh.
There'll be no cunts in this house
When are you leaving.
Lol
i'm a member of the sam rockwell cult
Absolutely brilliant movie from start to finish. I don't think I've enjoyed a movie this much since Shawshank Redemption. Outstanding job by everyone involved.
A great actor who already should have won a prize for his role in 'Moon', one of my favorite actors since then!
i had some major issues with the film that ultimatly meant i really just didnt like it
but i cant deny the directing and acting in the film were absolutly stunning
if someone asked for a recomendation for a good film i wouldnt say this one, but if someone asked for an example of great directing and acting there isnt a doupt in my mind i would point them straight to billboards
8:09 "Life affirming, shmife affirming!"
Just watched this movie. It is so Hollywood with its predictable abhorrence for the usual suspects and predictable pining for the predictable victims. Can we get some writers, producers, directors, and actors who aren't leftists? Please.
Nuwanda Blipkins Hollywood is fucking leftist. If you don't tow the line you don't fucking work.

Disgrace he didn't win best screenplay or get nominated for best director at Oscars. Spit!!!
Cops, clergy and dads, all made to look like the absolute dregs of society, while the women yet again save the day. Just another day in Hollywood’s never ending quest to drag Western civilization into the gutter.
Other than that, a really fine, original film.
networkdeath1 i mean i completely disagree that woody harrelson’s character was a “dreg.” and even the worst one of them who was a dreg ultimately got put on the road to redemption. and woody’s character, who was a cop, played a significant role in sparking that change in him.
Overrated. Give it to me
Brendan Rooney Underrated
Sam Rockwell is one of the most underrated actors of our time.
Sam Rockwell is one of the most under rated actors around .
Sam is the man
is he trying to behave like david fincher when he was here about fight club, or they are similar, mmm but clooney is heavy too i wonder if he and brad are friends or ennemies,but i loved this film lets add it to the master , both are wulululululu
A lady with the funny fucking eye?
Sam Rockwell for Oscar!
Sam Rockwell is the fucking shit, I've loved him ever since I first saw him in Lawn Dogs
If this doesn't take home Best Picture I'm rioting
keeponrockin come on lets do it. Over rated shit SOW won it. Giving up on Oscars.
Best film I'll see in 2018.
What's McDonagh saying at 7.18-7.20 min?
Darkly comic
Brilliant movie..one you’ll never forget..
I agree. When it ended I felt perhaps the film didn't live up to what I expected of it, but yet a week later and I can't stop thinking about the characters. That scene with Harrelson and McDormand and the blood splattered on her face made me cry so much because it was so poignant, and how they both reacted immediately with such innate compassion and concern for the other person it that moment. It showed their humanity and kindness. I don't know how anyone could have been failed to have been moved by that scene.

I think it's a great movie, and Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand were incredible in it. I just want to know what the point of Peter Dinklage's character was. It felt like he was forgotten about before the film ended.
Yes that did feel a little unresolved to me too. Good performance though by him.
I have such a crush on Sam Rockwell, he's just brilliant in everything he does.
Saw it Monday - had seen no reviews so had no expectations - it was one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time. Really great.
Sam Rockwell is a quality actor
These clips are so heavily edited because swearing. Haha!
Genuinely cannot tell if Sam Rockwell or Woody Harrelson deserve the Oscar more. Can't both get one?
This is a brilliant brilliant film, no other words.
Seen the movie last nite. Fantastic film, thanks.
In Bruges and 7 psychos are brilliant films, I never new anything about the director but now I do this film is on my watch list. Sam Rockwell is comic brilliance - great actor.
Sam Rockwell isn't underrated. He's great and everybody knows it. I have never seen a person voice negative opinions on him. Like never. In fact I think he's the only actor who I haven't seen get any critisicm. He's got amazing reviews and he just won a fucking Golden Globe.
TheVideoInvader not really, he's totally underrated with the best film that should have won this year for Best Picture
Now he's definitely not underrated.
This film is so mediocre, such an annoyingly overrated film
Diego Pisfil I’m sure you think it was
Jamie hyett it wasn't, this is one of the best movies
I thought Woody Harrelson's character was quite likeable, but characters don't have to be likeable though to make a film interesting or well made. I don't see that as a necessary criteria anyway. One of the things I liked about the film was showing how some seemingly bad people are capable of changing and redemption given the chance.
I too would have liked more in depth character development but that would have then been at the expense of the story line, or 'drama' if you will, if the film wasn't to have been 3 hours long. Or else you leave out some of the elements of the film you mentioned then you change the whole plot and it wouldn't have been true to how life is in that part of the US, nor would it have been the story the director wanted to tell anyway.
I loved it in any case. The acting ensemble was terrific especially McDormand who gave a deserved Oscar winning performance and McDonagh created a visually beautiful film with a story that avoided many of the cliches of that type of story.
palmtrees101 thank you palmtrees, it’s always terrifying to set foot into the unknown, but I’m glad you agree with me
I agree, don't get the hype
Loved this film. It was dark, funny and somewhat depressing. But ends with a sort of bittersweet optimism
Honestly? Best character development i've seen in a while
I want a highlight reell of Martin McDonagh inhaling.
Love the ending of the video. He will for sure be considered one of the all time greats. "Three Billboards" is absolutely amazing. If he keeps improving, he's gonna be a beast in the pantheon of film industry.
Loved it too. Think he was on about the huge master shots, or wide shots that he doesn't use too often that Oscars love. Sweeping shite.
Martin McDonagh is making some great movies
Funk Enstein I don't agree, this is one of the best movies
This wasn't one of them.
sams one of my favourite actors but his character in this was really annoying and the sudden shift in his personality was frustratingly unbelievable
Kit Findlay totally disagree, I thought the great thing about the character was he was always likeable, you could always sense the goodness the Willoughby saw in him even when he was doing reprehensible things. Part of the reason the window scene was so distressing for me personally was I was willing for Dixon to do the right thing and it was so disappointing to see him do wrong.
Great film, the best I’ve seen this year and its only January.
It must be great being Martin MacDonagh, but sooner or later Sting will need his head back.
Ahahahahaha
Sick boy from trainspotting 😉
Hahahahaha
em diar The most accurate comparison I've come across in actual years...
I don't think I've ever heard a director admit there was more room to explore in their film.... mad respect for a wonderfully humble and twisted man :)
Colter Wall ftw
Why does "strong" always mean masculine? He knows nothing about women, that's why this woman is no different from his other characters. She is a wonderful actress, maybe she should have helped him write her character:-) I don't care if people disagree with my comment and I am sure they will be showered with Oscars. I just felt like writing down my opinion.
When the guy comes into the shop and taunts her, was that not restraint?
He's the writer and ultimately it's his voice. And what ever someone else wants isn't what he wants. If you want to change it then write your own scripts. ;) But I feel ya.
Sumitra Sarma You're entitled to your opinion... But I didn't think she was masculine. What in your opinion made her appear masculine? Her language? Her attitude? Her choices?
Some women are gruff. Are they any less of a woman for not being demure?
"Strong means so many things, restraint is often much more powerful and difficult than beating someone up."
These don't at all sound like the words of someone who has actually seen the film.
id say what made mildred strong was the courage it took her to hold her ground against an entire town, not how manly she was
Best Scene: Frances McDormand and the deer.
And Frances McDorman will win as well.
He had a 2 minute scene all to himself where the camera didn't change angles once, it was pretty much the climax of the movie. He will win the Oscar for that scene alone.
More specific please?
Dixon had the best scene
I cried like a bitch
I. Love. Sam. Rockwell.
There. I've said it.
No homo, but I do too
Hell yeah.
Sam Rockwell nailed it as per.
Sam Rockwell is weird. I feel like EVERYONE thinks he's underrated, and surely the end result of which is to say that he's actually really highly rated? But he's so fucking good. He's great in this and he stole the show in Seven Psychopaths too. Still think him not being nominated for Moon is one of the biggest misjudgments I can remember.
Way way way back
+K. Chris Caldwell hey.. Rockwell was also really good in Box of Moonlight . One of his first films. Check it out..
Don't forget The green Mile. He was excellent in that. The Moon Pie scene is amazing!
Rockwell was incredible in _Moon.
Him not being nominated for Gentlemen Broncos is one of the biggest misjudgments I can remember.
I love this man's films. Probably my favourite director. I was so excited for this movie. It was the first film I went to the cinema to see on my own
Invite me next time
Sounds like you have excellent taste in directors.
Absolutely fantastic film!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam was so good in this film
Fantastic movie. The scene with Frances and Sam on the phone was hauntingly real and the tension they created was so real. 10/10
Great movie. I loved Sam Rockwell. Check my brief movie review here: tvclip.biz/video/d_k6vskbsp4/video.html&t=2s
The Libtards say this film is racist and problematic. So I guess it must be good.
I think you’re describing extreme leftists lol.
well if readers arent smart enough to walk to the nearest ballot box for the presidential election theyre probably not as smart as youre making them out to be
Critical thinking is the bane of the powerful, but the key to survival. "That man can interrogate as well as observe nature was a lesson slowly learned in his evolution." William Osler
Any group of readers is bound to be left leaning. If they'd put the ballot boxes in libraries Trump would not have won. Books are like kryptonite to Trump supporters. That's why he loves the poorly educated. They're the ones most likely to be dumb enough to vote for him.
read the comments. even amount the independent reader base (a pretty left leaning group) there was only one person not against the review.
Good film.....
My film of the year, and its only 19th January.
Paolo Brighelli same here !
Came out January here as well, regardless it’s a 2017 film and is in the 2018 oscars (where 2017 movies are)
Paradyme in UK it came out January.
Paolo Brighelli Well, it came out in 2017.
Great great fuckin film
Looks like Sickboy!
Oh Shit he does!!!
You only start to recognise just how sweary the film really is when you see the heavy editing of the cut scenes in this so it can play to a post-watershed tv audience
U better not see "Goodfellas".
Great actor deserves more thanks with all awards, available to actors ,coming his way now and in the future! Underrated definitely with great performances making characters believable,funny with sincerity to audiences watching. Thanks Sam for your work which you make look easy and totally deserves being award for at All events from television to film. Thanks man!👍👏😎
very nice performances
WhatKindOfBlue m
Brilliant film. Watched it yesterday. I had no idea it was the same director from In Bruges. Another masterpiece. Rich dialogue and very re-watchable regardless of the grim subject matter. 9/10
DPhoto it had the best music ever loved the movie 10/10 from me the best drama film in my opinion.
Memento by Nolan is my absolute favourite movie of all time. This movie comes very close, loved it
Agreed! Woody was equally excellent. If u enjoyed "Dunkirk", see Chris Nolan's first flick, "Following", as it is the opposite, showing his great range.
Getting an Oscar 101
Yes indeed. The trailer pulled me in & I was not disappointed. The community vs police narrative (people vs gov't) is playing well currently. After we wake up, we will realize we r in the same sinking boat. Hopefully before options become even more unpleasant. We saw "the Shape of Water", a slow starting but astounding flick. Who'd thought a story about a deaf mute & a sea monster could be so involving, goose bump ending. See it with someone u luv.
I was pleasantly surprised by where this movie went. It isn't at all about a vigilante, flawless mother doing what the bumbling Southern cops can't do. It's about a bunch of believable people trying to deal with this horrific situation. Give the movie a shot, it's incredible.
