Good movie, mostly good acting. I think Woody, Frances & Sam lost it a little at Sam's first scene with the 3 of them. I expected a little more from Act 3. Expected a better ending. Still it's a very good movie.
I rented the god damn movie and now I can't watch it assuming cause i rented another movie, fix your bullshit, Youtube, currently disputing for what i paid you cocksuckers
pretty good, but the ending should've fit the rest of the film. I get why it was an open ending, but literally everyone wants to see them kill the dude.
I had such high hopes for this, but it wound up being really pessimistic and controversial in some poorly chosen ways. Even if that controversy can be misunderstanding its intent, the movie could have reached the audience clearly and powerfully and healingly and wakingly more /without/ those writing decisions, and i felt let down. I'm just trying to hang on to that moment of hoping it would be what i thought that it was.
For example, this preview makes this mom look like she's going through the change of social-style ideals that i went through after becoming witness to a lot more abuse than i had seen that close up before. After seeing the film, i thought she seemed like a rebel possibly preceding any exceptional cause- neither someone with an amiable image to give up over grieving her daughter nor a very substancial person-, and the movie chronicles her becoming more a part of the screwed-up-ness of the world rather than less.. In the end, she hadn't really gone through the sort of social isolation that one does in real life by standing up for things much. She just engages in some intense roughhousing and gets away with it for probably the same reasons as her daughter's rapist&killer did. It's more a statement about her whole town including her being (to varying extents) a gang of "good old boys" (as my dad would say) than it is about anyone really standing for anything. ..
15 dollars for a 2 year old movie???? will be looking for this at local 2nd run BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE WAY CHEAPER. AROUND 5-10 AND THE PRICE OF A PINT. GOOD LUCK SELLING THIS ONE.
This is why we need federal police agencies like the FBI, DEA, and ATF. Bring outside people with no roots in the area and you'll have cops who actually do their jobs. Small towns where everybody knows everybody, the police are liable to cover for people they know and accept bribes in various forms. Its exactly whats happening in mexico right now, except their corruption is so bad certain sects of their own military have embedded narcos.
Brilliant! I just watched this movie this weekend and cried my eyes out. Frances M. is so outstanding but really "out there" and at first I was really behind her with the billboards. Then Woody (The Chief) enters the movie and it just gut punched me. When he tells Frances he has Cancer and her reply will just tear you up. And his look on his face; the hurt the pain and the betrayal he feels. You just feel his pain. And then what he goes through. I was on his side the whole time because it was so obvious that he did care and he did do everything he could and it just wasn't his fault. And then what he does next just tore me apart. I almost couldn't watch the rest of it. All I can say is if you are in step with him then you will know it before it comes, you can just feel what is going to happen and it is AWFUL!!! And all of these characters from Ebbing to Dixon to the guy who vouches for Frances and then asks her out to dinner, and the son who has to now endure even more trauma about his sister; this movie could not be any more perfect or put together. And the way the town turns against the billboards and then the turn around of Dixon and The Chief and it's like they come apart and then all back together again. I have not seen a finer movie in a long time. Frances definitely earned her Oscar and so did the actor who played Dixon. This is clearly one of Woody Harrelson's finest performances ever. To me he just stole the whole movie. I am still thinking of him and how he must have felt knowing that that was his last best day. Frances really shines too. Really shows all sides of the story and had me cheering for Frances and Dixon in the end. Their relationship turn is such a fabulous example of how we can all come together to help one another. This movie to me shows true humanity and how we all suffer and get blamed for things beyond our control and other times we just have to do something so as to just move forward. Really made me THINK! I highly recommend it.
Excellent movie. I see why the Oscars went to Frances and Sam. I put this in my Top 10 Favorites, for sure. It illuminates the patriarchy, the racial divide of the south, the police brutality, the spousal abuse, along with the redemption and the purification of 2 flawed cops. Even more importantly, it makes you feel a mother's anguish, her determination, and her ending climax, of a heart overflowing with compassion.
Ohhh NOW I get it, made by an Irish man raised-up in England. Well no wonder this movie portrayed such a MEAN spirit and had a OVER abundant use of the F-Word. That plus Woody Harrelson being thrown-in for 'good' measure…
I avoid movies that have even the HINT of propaganda, as I attempted to find out through reviews. I am watching this move for the SECOND time, even though the propaganda in the movie is, for me, obvious, and some of it reflects the views and perspective of a certain sector of American political and social thought. There's no need for me to mention which sector that is, because, personally, I can't stand EITHER one [of the "two"], because, in part, both sectors, or philosophies support WAR, and both have, perhaps one more than the other, been responsible for the massive social and cultural deterioration of the U.S.
Nevertheless THIS move is absolutely POWERFUL!!! And McDormand deserved her Academy Award. I have not watched the Academy Awards since the 1970s, and I did not watch the one at which she was given the award by Holly-weird. But I watched a 1-minute video segment of her receiving the award, and she is a super hardcore, self-proclaimed feminist that raised two sons.
If you just watch her PERFORMANCE, and ignore the propaganda that appears throughout the movie, you will enjoy it IMMENSELY. The move, as a whole, is very good, though some of the stuff that happens is a bit unbelievable. But, in a way, that helps MAKE the movie.
Wow! I did not expect this movie to be so good. 10 out of 10 at least rating.Everyone did a fantastic job. And to think that some places in the south have this mentality just boggles my mind.

Do people in Missouri have southern accents?
Good movie
Wow!!! One of the most interesting true story movies ever! – To say the least.
I can't believe the school that they broadcast is the one I used to go. In 8th Grade.

such a waste of perfect shock value!

Best Movie Ever
The only movie I’ve ever/will ever give a proper 10/10 on IMDb. What an amazing movie.
I was in Sylva NC when they were filming this! It was really neat to see everyone.
One of my favorite movies of all time. 😉
Fantastic movie!
This is one of the most powerful films ive ever seen. Still can't believe I found out about it only yesterday.

Is the chief's wife SUPPOSED to be an Aussie or was the Aussie actress's American accent slipping?

Why didn't this get more publicity!?!? It's AMAZING!! 👍👍👍
The BEST movie I've seen in a longgggggggg while.

This movie didn't work for me. A lot of crazy and violent stuff going on and in the end felt I had no idea what the point was.
cussing is all u hear
Over dramatized. Everything is so extreme it just kills the movie plot. Not believable…
Beautiful movie
Wow! I did not expect this movie to be so good. 10 out of 10 at least rating.Everyone did a fantastic job. And to think that some places in the south have this mentality just boggles my mind.
