To a hapless TV news reporter who claims the case is closed, Mildred retorts: “This is just getting started – why don’t you put that on your Good Morning, fucking Missouri fucking wakeup broadcast, bitch.” (This needs to become a meme ASAP.) She batters and cusses her way through the role, digging into McDonagh’s ripe, raunchy language like the verbal feast it is. 'Silence of the Lambs': The Complete Buffalo Bill StoryĮxplosively written and directed by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh (his first two films were In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths), the film is a launching pad for the combustible force of nature that is McDormand.
Rockwell, who makes Dixon horrendous and humane sometimes both in a same breath, is just tremendous – so crazy good and volcanically funny that you want to spontaneously applaud whenever he shows up. Sheriff Willoughby (a soulful, exasperated Woody Harrelson) doesn’t like being publicly mocked by billboards that read: “Still No Arrests?” “How Come, Chief Willoughby?” and “Raped While Dying.” It’s Willoughby’s racist, hot-tempered, pea-brained, momma’s-boy deputy Dixon (Sam Rockwell), however, who’s practically pissing himself from rage. So mad, in fact, that she rents three billboards at $5000 per month to embarrass the local cops who haven’t found the killer who raped and incinerated her teen daughter seven months before – since, according to Mildred, cops are “too busy torturing black folks.” A livewire Frances McDormand will blow you away as Mildred Hayes, a divorced woman who’s mad as hell at the police in her town of Ebbing, Missouri.
#Three billboards movie movie
Duck, you suckers – this darkly comic bonfire of a movie shoots off dangerous sparks that can burn and leave marks.
