A gleeful piece of filmmaking, McDonagh’s latest concerned Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand), a grieving mother whose frustration with the local police brings her into conflict with local police chief Sheriff Bill Willoughby (Woody Harrelson). As Mildred’s quest for justice veers towards desire for revenge, McDonagh’s film assumes a dark momentum. Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage and John Hawkes suffer their own torments.
