Stunning no, complex yes, brilliant maybe, Frances McDormand yes. Good but still doesn't trump Eye In The Sky or Spotlight for me.

Eye In The Sky was pants, Spotlight rather good.
Just watched Three Billboards and thought it was absolutely captivating. Ending was perfection, not sure how the last 5-10 minutes were poor as suggested.

Managed to get a couple in this weekend.

Molly's Game - not too bad as a time passer. Starts quite well but never seems to hit the heights that it could do.

3 Billboards...... - Oooo! Odd but compelling. No need for the last 5 mins though.

Hidden Figures

Brilliant - just brilliant , wonderful film telling the story of some amazing ladies who deserve every credit they were finally given.

Such a shame there are still areas in the US that act like the people in the film when it comes to people of differing race.
I agree. I really enjoyed this film and it makes you realise what barriers these ladies had to climb to get accepted. I'd definitely recommend it.

The ending had a bit of a jumped the shark type moment for me . Other than that , it was a cracking film.

I disagree, for me there had to be some form of closure for the victim and family. If they would have carried on with the film then yes, I would have agreed with you but wasn’t the guy they were after the same fella in the shop earlier? Made perfect sense to me to end like it did.

There was no closure at the end . If they’d ended it 5 minutes earlier it would have tied things up . The end was just stupid.
