    This is ultimately a movie about character development and growth. It's not necessarily the most original concept for a movie. We've seen movies approaching the same subject from different perspectives, from many years. A woman seeking justice and revenge for the death of her daughter is nothing new. But what makes it stand out is the absolutely fantastic script and performances.

    Martin Mcdonagh deals with these characters and scenes in such a dark funny way that makes them almost too…
