March 2: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
One of the standout releases of 2017, this film by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths) uses satire and pitch-black comedy to chronicle a grieving mother in a sleepy American town and her renegade search for justice for an unsolved murder. Frances McDormand gives an especially strong performance in the starring role, which McDonagh wrote with her in mind. Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Peter Dinklage also star in this dark and grimly realistic portrait of a conflict bitterly unfolding in small town America. The film is up for seven Oscars, including Best Picture.
