This film is based upon the book, @The Dark Fields . It's a fairly good adaptation. The cinematography is cool, I like how it became brighter and more clear whenever the drug was in effect.
I really can't stand Abbie Cornish, but she was easy to ignore (the whole breaking up Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe made me dislike her). There were a few additional plot lines that were never resolved, but they weren't even pertinent to the main plot line and didn't need to be in there anyway.

Three Billboards is a fricking masterpiece, and another home run from Martin McDonagh.

The cast is stacked to say the least. Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell both give a career best performance. The supporting cast is made up of the likes of Woody Harrelson, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish, Lucas Hedges, John Hawkes, Clarke Peters, Samara Weaving, and Peter Dinklage - all who are just great. McDonagh's screenplay is fantastic as per usual, and the runtime is filled with his token dark humour, as well as plenty of emotionally charged events. The narrative is sort of all over the place, with several plot strands all running alongside and throughout eachother, but it's messiness adds to the whole experience, almost like a sort of controlled chaos. All of this is backed by a truly wonderful music score by Carter Burwell.

Three Billboards is just one of those movies that springs off the screen and sticks in your head for all the right reasons.
