kottke.org posts about Martin McDonagh

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri

From director Martin McDonagh, who is also responsible for In Bruges, comes Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. Frances McDormand stars and even in the trailer, she is a force of nature. (No offense to Meryl Streep, but McDormand is a very strong candidate for the best actor or actress working today.) The red band trailer above is entertaining in its use of many of George Carlin’s seven dirty words but I prefer the more conventional trailer I saw in the theater the other day โ€” which I cannot locate online for some reason โ€” because, among other reasons, it contains more Peter Dinklage.
