RITA DI SANTO assesses the winners of the most politically charged festival to date
Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri (15)
Directed by Martin McDonagh
THIS dark comedy drama about a single mother taking on the white, male-run authorities was the toast of this year's Golden Globes, winning four awards.
British writer-director Martin McDonagh's follow-up to In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths is funny, brutal and cutting as it tackles injustice, physical abuse, sexism and the racist violence of white cops.
But its central theme of a lone woman fighting for justice for her murdered daughter and demanding to be heard certainly resonates in the wake of the newly launched Time's Up campaign and women finally being able to come forward and demanding to be taken seriously.
