I’ll disagree again-
I, tonya was surprisingly good to me
3 billboards was my favorite
3 Billboards was horrible. Come on. It was so totally unrealistic and we were forced to believe every action taken was something that could possibly be real. Talk about a total suspension of disbelief.
Somehow I was supposed to believe that a mother who verbally abused her kid and last left her with the comment I hope you get raped, suddenly cares enough to toss up billboards blaming the police for not doing a good job after she actually got raped? Mom of the year for sure.
Oh yeah, I guess you are off the hook for firebombing the police station because Therion Lannister said you didn't do it.
A random guy walks into a police station off the street dressed in a frumpy suit starts to talk and suddenly the police start mouthing off and the random guy just happens to be the new police chief. No uniform. No presentation of credentials?
The billboard owner gets the crap beat out of him in the middle of town right outside the police station of a very small predominantly white town and nobody even reacts?
A fairly dicey looking husband drops an extremely rough looking wife for some hot young girl?
And having been involved in a house fire myself, the rogue cop sits in the station that he once worked in after breaking in and for whatever reason is listening to a tape player, at night and is completely oblivious to an inferno going on behind him? Jesus.
And the clueless cop who was kicked out of the department because of his actions suddenly is sitting in a bar listening to a guy talk about some horrible thing he does that is remarkably similar to the event that the police couldn't resolve for years. And oh yeah, this same individual for no reason at all shows up at the souvenir shop that the three billboards mom works in and implies some threat to her for calling out the police. Wow!! This must be the criminal for sure.
Sincerely it is the worst movie I ever saw that gained so many accolades for no real reason.
I get the need to link arcs in movies with some level of "please don't try so hard to believe this" but this movie was just insanely bad at their attempts.
