The movie is called Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and trust me, it is just that.
It would have been a very, very straight forward story of courage, but what makes it different are tiny moments of kindness. They are a community of compassionate people who are culpable of same mistake and yet similar deeds of Kindness.
How do you measure kindness?
I guess this is that one things which need not be big the better, a tiny drop of it has the same effect as the whole sea.
That moment when Willoughby accidentally cough blood on Mildred's face and she shows kindness in that moment even though he is one she fighting really hard. And Willoughby let's her go.
The moment when the community comes forward and pays for Mildred's dues for they believe in her cause (or their own may be).
The moment when Willoughby tries to gives his family a comfort of a Happy last memory than a sad one by killing himself.
Or when Dixon saves Angela's case file even though he himself gets badly burned by the fire started by her mother.
Whether it's Penelope in her borrowed quotes and naiveness or James in his clumsy supportiveness, or the dreadful combination of Dixon and Mildred when they for a moment they are not sure if they want to kill the culprit.
They are all Hero's in their own right. As thankfully, there is no measure of kindness.
You never inflict a Revenge or Misery on others, it's only you who gets affected. It's up to you what you become as a result of it.
4/5
It Moved Me.
