I found 3 Bilboards to be brilliant in a number of ways and frustrating in other ways. Very much like I'd also found Martin McDonagh's earlier film, In Bruges.

McDonagh made a movie set in, to him, a foreign country, America, without really understanding it adequately to write all the things he wrote.

Yet there were also any number of great segments in it.
