Academy Award winner for Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell).

There aren’t many writer-directors who could tell a story of small-town rape, murder, grief and guilt while taking you down all sorts of black-comic paths and having immense fun with the writing and acting along the way. But Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths) is one of them, and his bloody and ballsy third film takes his work to a new level of versatility and surprise.

Frances McDormand burns a hole in the screen as a furious and grieving mother seeking justice and wreaking havoc on the local police (Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell) and the rest of the town as her daughter’s murder remains unsolved. The town of Ebbing becomes a character of its own, joining a terrific ensemble of John Hawkes, Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea), Abbie Cornish and a grandly mustachioed Peter Dinklage, getting the movie’s best one-liner.

D: Martin McDonagh, US, 2017, Runtime: 2h
