Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) - Rotten Tomatoes (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/three_billboards_outside_ebbing_missouri/)

Anyone seen this yet? Looks like it may be Oscar nomination quality from the reviews and the audience ratings.

We loved it

Not a prude....but the language (every one in the book) used SO repeatedly it became irritating to me. Just seems as if Hollywood simply HAS TO infuse the gutter-talk in so many films.
Again, not a prude - just saw Last Flag Flying... and the language was fitting for the movie and its characters. In 3 Billboards IMO it was simply way over the top - esp the C word and MF many many times. Seems every character could not get more than 3 lines in without $%#@!.

The foul language, I agree, often detracts from the story.

Saw it last week with a surprisingly full house for a non-sequel, non-franchise movie. The writing, direction and performances were all amazing. Neighbor behind me also saw it and can't stop talking about it. We agree that it was an extremely "real" feeling film and that everyone in it seemed consumed by something; loss, anger, cancer or whatever. Frances McDormand is always great but she topped herself in this one. Similarly, Sam Rockwell went beyond his usual greatness. Woody Harrelson gave the best performance I've ever seen from him. Caleb Landry Jones is new to me (having only seen him in American Made before this) but he can keep up with the big names. Just a great, great movie.

I was wondering whom he played in American Made. He did a good job with that role.

He played the idiot brother-in-law and was totally convincing. After posting I found out I'd also seen him in a smallish role in X-Men: First Class. I'm going to keep an eye out for him in the future. He has four or five upcoming film roles listed in IMDB.

I will watch for him too.

Some of the women in American Made kept my eyes on them quite a bit longer though.

Got around to seeing this movie Monday afternoon (today).

It seemed realistic to me if quite earthy with the language.

Very good performances from the various actors.

Still has a sizable audience. This was first time I had to stand in a long line at the Barnstorm Theater for a non-Star Wars universe movie.

My wife and I saw it two weeks ago; awesome movie; went at 10:30am and wasn't but a handful of people there.

It was fantastic. Although they call it a comedy drama, the comedy is pretty much dark humor or irony, and it's a pretty serious movie. So well done.

The boy who played the lead's son, Lucas Hedges, is in Manchester By the Sea, which is another fantastic movie.

Neither one of these movies will have you dancing in the aisles.

I bought the Blu-Ray a long time ago and the cashier Dee Dee was raving about how good Manchester by the Sea is but I still have not gotten around to watching it. I like action movies like Atomic Blonde and The Foreigner more.

Manchester By the Sea is definitely not an action movie. It makes the statement that there are some things in life so tragic you cannot get over them. Some wounds time does not heal.

That is a very true statement about tragedies.

I will have to watch Manchester by the Sea sometime when I am in the mood. Sounds kind of like In the Bedroom or Ordinary People.

If you knew the real Manchester-by-the-Sea you would not be surprised. It is a sleepy town located on the North Shore between Beverly and Gloucester Massachusetts. There hasn’t been any action there since the Thomas Crown Affair ran a 5 minute scene through there. Most of it was filmed where I grew up, in Beverly. But you get a longer credit if the name of the city consists of 3 hyphenated words.

The 1968 film is rated @ 79% by stupid tomatoes. I give it 100%.
I got to meet a number of the stars, and the producer.

Bah humbug! What does Stupid Tomatoes know!

Correction. It was probably The Shack that Dee Dee recommended. Another cashier talked about Manchester-by-the-Sea. I noticed Dee Dee on break yesterday and the memories clarified.

I still should watch Manchester-by-the-Sea and last year's Academy Award Best Picture Moonlight which is probably available via DVD and Blu-Ray from various Villages' area public libraries. Not a movie I would want to own though.

I hope something like The Darkest Hour or Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Minnesota wins.
