Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
I'm guessing the real reason Mr. Lickona gave the movie one star was due to the main characters scathing indictment of a catholic priest in the film comparing the catholic priests to the crips and bloods. Just another gang culpable for the actions of it's more degenerate members making them complicit in the actions certain preachers have committed against altar boys. I find it odd that someone who is a devout catholic and has written a book on the subject would leave that part of the film out of his review. Except that it might more easily display his real motive for giving an excellent, subtle, complex, hilarious, and deeply human film a one star review. The "wiseassery" may have left you cold but your review that dismisses all the subtle nuance portrayed in this film, the volumes of things felt and said in an actors face without a word (good acting, though) leaves me cold. The movie never "feels like shtick", when things start to feel like the characters will continue to perpetrate yet another eruption of violence you see them start to grow and learn and forgive. I'm honestly not even sure what film you were watching.— December 11, 2017 5:40 a.m.
