Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri dir. by Martin McDonagh

[jserraglio]

Twisted, funny and violent, as were the notable Irish playwright Martin McDonagh's eight plays (two trilogies, The Leenane and The Aran Islands, The Pillowman and A Behanding in Spokane) before he become a filmmaker (In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths).

With Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson. McDormand should be a sure-fire AA nominee for her performance as Mildred, a Medeaesque, tough-as-nails, grieving mom who takes on a whole town.

I just caught this thread. A week ago, at my Academic Bowl swan song, I wrote a pop culture question to which the answer was the title of this film. I would have accepted just "Three Billboards," but in fact the student gave the entire correct title.
