Martin McDonagh, Director of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri returns with what likely be another bafflingly funny and emotive film with him linking up with Colin Farrel and Brendon Gleeson from In Bruges once more.
Can't wait. All his films are absolute classics.

Saw this tonight. Tbh it's McDonagh's weakest movie so far. It has neither the proper belly laugh moments nor the devastating emotional moments that were in his previous films. It still has some beautiful cinematography and phenomenal performances with Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan stealing the show even though Farrell and Gleeson are both great themselves.
Can't help but feel disappointed in it though.

Finally got around to watching this, wasn't bad, could even say it was good, but it was dreadfully slow and rather bleak. Agreed with Condon and Keoghan, they were the two highlight characters.
The dry, dark humor and depressingness was great. I laughed pretty hard several times with the dryly-delivered dialogue. The first confessional scene was absolutely hilarious. Three Billboards... is better, but this is pretty feckin' good, too. Oh, and I absolutely needed subtitles to catch all of the dialogue.. haha. Even then I don't know what they mean by "rowin'". Hmm..
It's a solid 8/10 from me. It scored some extra points for very nice cinematography. And it doesn't even have a nomination for it. Strange.
Finished watching this about a half hour ago. Real nice cinematography. Never knew Barry Keoghan was Irish until now. Pretty good film and I'd recommend,, 7/10
Yeah, I liked Three Billboards a lot, too. The Shape of Water won over it that year. I guess that's a tough call, but those two were definitely the best of the Best Picture nominees that year.
Yeah, I may have to give that another chance, too. I probably wasn't ready for it at the time. I barely remember it.
It's probably the funniest of his movies but doesn't have anything like the emotive parts like the church scene in In Bruges or several scenes in Billboards (the cough scene, the deer scene etc, the letter scene etc)
I remember being the only person in the cinema who burst out laughing at the
"Hey new idea how 'bout we change the title from The Seven Psychopaths to The Seven Lesbians Who Are All Disabled And Have Overcome All Their Spazzy Shit And Are Really Nice to Everybody And Two of Them Are Black. How 'bout that?"
