Sam Rockwell & Martin McDonagh on Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri | Film4

Nuwanda Blipkins Hollywood is fucking leftist. If you don't tow the line you don't fucking work.

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.

Brendan Rooney Underrated

keeponrockin come on lets do it. Over rated shit SOW won it. Giving up on Oscars.

Darkly comic

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.

Yes that did feel a little unresolved to me too. Good performance though by him.

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.

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 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.

Funk Enstein I don't agree, this is one of the best movies

This wasn't one of them.

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.

Hahahahaha

em diar The most accurate comparison I've come across in actual years...

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

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

No homo, but I do too

Hell yeah.

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.

Invite me next time

Sounds like you have excellent taste in directors.

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.

Now that was a lively discussion. Tom, John, & Alex would be proud.

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.

Oh Shit he does!!!

U better not see "Goodfellas".

WhatKindOfBlue m

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.

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.
