Searched, couldn't find another thread on it.
This opened a week or so ago in the UK and I saw it Friday night. I've enjoyed a lot of McDonagh's films in the past, (although Seven Psychopaths was a bit of a misfire), but I feel like Three Billboards is the first time his gallows humour had been properly married to the tragedy and pathos that it feels like he's been aiming for.
I'm quite surprised it hasn't created more discussion, as I feel that it dips into a lot of interesting themes and issues. That said, I do think that the treatment of racism in the film is a haphazard, and too often the punchline.
Thoughts?
