My Second Favorite Movie Of The Year.

It’s always been one of my dreams to become a detective. To go under the police tape, approach the chalk outlined body, flash my Subway sandwich card and say, “Okay, what do we got here?”

The chief of police in Ebbing, Missouri has done everything he can to find the rapist/murderer of a young woman, but it’s still not enough for her mom, who goes on the warpath – starting with several billboards addressed to the chief.

Three Billboards is an excellent movie, about redemption and how utterly complex all of us are. We may be abusive, or racist, or unapologetically seek justice, can still find humanity when faced with someone else’s agony.

Plus it has it has a very honest ending. And it’s going to be nominated for an Oscar. And Francis McDormand will win an Oscar. You should really go see it.
