Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a darkly comic drama from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh ("In Bruges"). After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town's revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing's law enforcement is only exacerbated.

Never in a million years would I have had this movie pegged as ending up as my favorite/best movie of 2017.  So glad I watched this on the last day of the year so it could qualify.  Frances McDormand should be a lock for best actress of the year.  All of the characters and the story progression just seemed so real and down to earth.  The audience is hooked right from the start and as deeply dramatic as the subject matter is - you will be belly laughing numerous times throughout the movie because of the witty script and delivery from the actors and actresses involved in the movie.   

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.  It actually gets the must see stamp as the best movie of 2018 in my book.
