Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

A mother grieving her murdered daughter rents the titular boards to point a finger at the chief of police for lack of progress in the case. Several fantastic scenes and some truly incredible acting.

But this film strikes a really weird tone. It’s deadly serious, but also tips into farce whenever the doofus, racist cop is in the frame. I liked it quite a lot, but I also wish it could’ve picked a lane.

B+
