If you like, or have ever liked, superhero antics, this one is highly recommended.

There's so many people in it;
PLEASE tell me there's at least ONE "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" reference!
“I’ll read you something pretty:
‘People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish alternative motives.
Do good anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll be kicked into the teeth.
Give the world the best you got anyway. ‘“

A Texas family who inspired the acclaimed film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, is breaking down the story behind the Oscar-nominated film.
The movie has racked up a total of seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. It has already won numerous Golden Globes, BAFTA and SAG honors.
In the film, Frances McDormand plays a grieving mother who rents out three billboards to shame police into solving her daughter's rape and murder.
Now, the Texas family who became the real-life inspiration for the film is discussing the case.
Since 1991, the Fulton family of Vidor, Tex., has been putting up billboards demanding that cops make an arrest in the cold case murder of Kathy Page.
“My dad inspired that movie by putting those signs up,” Sherry Valentine, Page's sister, told Inside Edition.
Page was a married mom of two and was found dead in a car wreck 100 yards from her home. The family claims it was murder.
An investigation determined the victim had her nose broken and was strangled. In addition, the police probe found that her body had been placed in the car after she had been slain.
Bloodstains were found on her underwear and skin, but none on her outer clothing.
The billboards, which appear on a road outside Vidor, have been up ever since, serving as a public expression of the family's frustration. They say they are up because they want to be heard and are seeking justice.

I turned the film off at about 40 minutes because it is subtitled and I was too sleepy. At first, it seemed a little long and a bit overwrought. But, the very next night - on Father’s Day evening, while my bodacious babe was batting her lashes at a show called Bar Rescue and the babbling bobble heads on NBC, I escaped again to absorb the rest of this foreign film, and it actually evolved into a very well done emotional drama - by someone who seems to understand the sad reality of people in training to blast their neighbors.
