Really enjoyed most of it even if the ending went off the rails a bit. Rockwell was nom worthy.

A pretentious, sloppy, mind-numbing pastiche of better films with more interesting ideas. Rockwell and Walken were its only saving graces.

I think it suffers from the issues that keep Three Billboards from being a flawless film: a lot of the characters feel like stand-ins for abstract concepts, which work better on-stage. But for the most part I think it's still a marvelously entertaining film with an excellent ensemble, with Walken and Linda Bright Clay as the MVPs of the film. Their relationship was so heartbreakingly realistic in its brevity.

Its certainly a step down from In Bruges but its still a damn good dark as hell comedy imo . . Walken & Rockwell were both fantastic in their roles. Definitely the stand outs here. Also liked the opening scene with the two Boardwalk Empire actors (Michael Stuhlbarg & Michael Pitt) .

It’s a film that only works if you don’t stop to think about it for more than 5 seconds. And I find more and more that I’m losing my patience for movies that think “if we make fun of our flaws and lazy writing, that’ll lampshade them and make us seem ‘self-aware.’” No, Martin just got lazy and didn’t lampshade anything.

It's a fun little film with some wonderful performances. Far from perfect, but I still love it.

It's McDonagh's weakest film, but I still enjoy it a great deal. While it's not on the level of something like Adaptation, I love the dynamic among the cast, there are a bunch of great lines, and there are some weirdly unexpected moments of pathos sprinkled throughout. Gets better on rewatches too.

Most entertaining film of the year and one of the best of the decade. I’d say it’s Martin McDonagh’s best, which says a lot.

Some nice subplots -- especially loved Stanton and Waits, but the main stuff is a mess. I looooove Bright-Clay and Walken though, they're my wins.

This film spends time with its characters and completely earns every moment that have. A fun time and feels very inclusive to its audience.
