I actually like how unsatisfying the ending is, it's such a great representation of how the characters feel.

"Unpredictability" is the perfect word for this film. I was blown away by this. It kept my attention from start to finish and I just didn't know where the story was taking me. One of the best films of the year by far.

The best part about this film is how even the characters who are initially seen as assholes end up making you feel very sympathetic towards them.

Sam Rockwell’s performance deserves an Oscar

Spoilers ahead: The ending was perfect because the point of the film was that there isn't always resolution. There is not always something that makes you feel comfortable and life just keeps going on. Mildred faces this when she finally realizes that there is no chance of finding the killer, and we face that truth with the ending. That is where the arcs end.

I don’t agree with you on the ending. The film wasn’t a detective who done it type movie, it was a character piece. The movie is about the way the characters are effected by this one decision, not about finding the guy.

i think the ending is one of the reason i love this movie.. the idea about two frenemies deciding what to do with that guy is really smart!

Can't wait to see this film. Also can't wait to see an actual billboard advertisement for this film

Frances McDormand easily gave the best performance of the entire year.

After watching Get Out and Three Billboards, I can say that Caleb Landry Jones is a fantastic actor. He NEEDS to be in more stuff.

If there's one thing this movie does excellently, it's that it showcases the complexity of not just life, but also loss. It's dirty and hard and sorting through it is shockingly less simple than you'd think. If you've lost a loved one suddenly (I lost my kid brother in an auto accident 5 years ago), the movie will resonate with you much more strongly than if not. The ambiguous ending is absolutely perfect because it further cements that grief is hard and navigating it is different from person to person. It's not pretty. The ending is, at least to me, far less ambiguous than people seem to think. Originally they were going to go kill that guy, but it ultimately came to be a cathartic experience of just....driving out there and not being alone. And Mildred smiled at the end....something she was accused of never doing. They will not kill that man.

Woody Harrelson has had such a good record this year.

Best film I've seen all year. I loved the ambiguous ending because some viewers will want vigilante justice and others will be against it, this ending lets you decide what happened.

I am so excited for Chris's Best of the Year video

Review The Florida Project, Call Me By Your Name, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, and The Square

One of the most unique films I’ve ever seen. The sarcasm was top notch. The moments of hate and anger that led to karma, which eventually led to self realization. A very touching film despite the messsed up stuff they were doing to each other. Moral of the story. Evil begets evil. This film touches on all emotions. A classic

Sam Rockwell was fanFUCKINGtastic!

Really surprised this didn't get an A+. This was by far the best movie I've seen this year, and probably in many years.

Any chance you can review the new _Hey Arnold_ movie?

I think Mr.Stuckman should do Fargo

She was trying to get justice for Barb

I’m just waiting for Sam Rockwell to claim his Oscar already

I really appreciate how you're NEVER condescending in your reviews. So many people are so arrogant with their knowledge, making them instantly unlikeable. You are very generous with your knowledge and it drives it all forward. Thank you :)

great review! and i'm sooo envious about your film collections in the background!! keep up with the good work

Me: Is Frances McDormand supposed to be any good in this movie? Everyone: Oh ya!

1:27 - 1:31 HAHAHAHAHA We should also give this movie props for its gender equality when it comes to groin kicks. Male or female..getting kicked in the groin hurts..and can be funny.

Chris I love the intelligence of your reviews and the way you connect both the art history of film making and the diverse material / issues that are being tackled by the films you review. I haven't seen this film as yet but since seeing your reviews of other films, I became a subscriber to your channel. I love films, both the art form and importantly the material they choose to tackle. Am a minor film buff myself. I saw my first foreign film when I was 16 years old. Loved it. Have film makers in my family and Im a writer of sorts. America has a long history of great art and film making. Although for me the fanchise machine is a bit tiring. Here is a bit of trivia for you. The earliest known feature length narrative film in the world was the Australian production, The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906). Anyway Chris keep up the great work. A new Australian fan of your channel.

Man your Reviews always on point and clear....Thanks

Some scenes in this film were filmed in my small town of sylva. So excited for this movie

Great film, hope Sam Rockwell gets a nomination for best supporting actor. Also loved McDonagh's work from Seven Psychopaths.

Great review! Wouldn't have noticed this film without your review! Also I WANT YOUR TSHIRT

This is by far the best review I've ever seen. Spot on on every aspect. Thank you.

As far as the ending, I love it! Chris mentions he was so invested in finding what out what happens to Mildred that the ambiguity at the end disappointed him a little. I believe it was quite powerful, reflecting the same ambiguity that, not just the characters, but also everyone who’s been in her situation feels as they search for such closure but sadly will most likely never find it.

Could you review "The Man Who Invented Christmas"? It's a smaller movie and it's not like life-changing but I thought it was pretty good and I was curious about your opinion😊.

Love getting Stuckminized right before bed! Your awesome Chris!

Thanks for the review of this one Chris. Not many youtube reviews of this one out there and you convinced me to go see what ended up being one of my favourite movies of the year :)

Why hasnt Chris reviewed Captain Underpants yet?

Saw lady bird and 3 billboards on the same day. 3 billboards is the early Oscar favorite.

Just watched this. Loved it! Had to check Chris' review right away after getting home :)

You give the best reviews of movies. So clear and precise. I'm going to see this movie tonight because of your great review of it. Thank you.

In Bruges is my absolute favorite film by Martin McDonagh.

In Bruges was my favorite film for a decade. I was a little disappointed with seven psychopaths but liked it more upon re-watch. Expectations were a little too high after In Bruges. This film I liked almost as much as In Bruges and was deeply satisfying. Mcdonagh, McDormand and Rockwell are all great. Mcdonagh creates and fleshes out awesome characters.

These are the reviews I love most. It told me a movie I had no intention to watch was unmissable. Thank you Ill give it a shot

Glad Chris finally saw this. It’s one of my favorites of the year.

Modern day masterpiece, will go down as a classic

I saw this on the day of Thanksgiving. It was truly a wonderful movie. It's definitely not as violent as Martin McDonagh films usually are but it definitely had its moments and the dialogue was just wonderful between the characters. I was happy to see Frances McDormand given such a good role. She was basically the anti-Fargo in this movie.

I would love for Chris to review one of my films one day. But for right now just keep making shorts on here until I get to that point. Keep up the good work Chris!

Seeing this tonight, it won a ton of Golden Globes so I’m looking forward to it! Always watch your reviews before I see a movie!

In Bruges is such an under appreciated movie

Any plans for review of "Loving Vincent"?

Thanks for your review, Chris. I went and saw this yesterday (the Antipodeans are getting it a bit late) and it made my day. Loved the characters, the concept, even that ending fit perfectly.

Amazing film...just go see it. A+

For me, the most interesting part was definitely character development. Many characters were not super likable, and for a majority of the movie there was no real "protagonist". Every character had their flaws unlike the perfect protagonists of so many other films. It made everything feel so much more real.

I was at this school when it was being broadcast. So excited.

There's nothing better than waking up to Chris's reviews

Dude review Mindhunter or Godless when you can!! Two dimes.

Gotta see it now

Excellent. Unfortunately we have to wait until next year over here!

Gonna try to catch this tomorrow. It's actually showing at my theater!

Gotta see this since I've already seen Seven Psychopaths and In Bruges

MINDHUNTER......... Chris.. what the hell are you doing with your life? Get on Mindhunter and prepare to be cinematically violated in best of ways. It's enjoyably disturbing and you better give it an A+ or Kemper will haunt you in your dreams.....ok I may have gone too far..

Love your reviews Chris

One of my most anticipated films of the year. Still haven't seen it yet and it's going to be released wider on January. BUMMER!

It deserved an A+, I do agree about the ending but it was great the way it ended.

Stuck Chrismann.

Thank you for the quick, concise review. I've subscribed.

Chris I love your reviews and point of view and I know you are a champion of avoiding spoilers. I’d like to encourage you to refrain from mentioning things like the unpredictability of the plot or how a movie isn’t how it seems or things that you didn’t see coming. This invites expectation into my experience and probably others as well. This has been a recent thing I’ve noticed and it has poisoned two of my movie experiences waiting for “the moment that Chris talked about” while watching it - removing me from the immersion. Otherwise, Keep up the good work!

Please review the infinity War trailer :0

I still can’t believe you gave lady bird an A+ but you only gave this an A.

This was filmed in my town! It was a long stretch of having to go through different roads. It was also filmed at my school!

I've been looking forward to this movie for a while. Thanks for reviewing​! I'm even more hyped now.

Here comes the "review infinity war trailer" comments

Can u review the infinity war trailer please!? Also i love your videos

thank you chris for another great review!!!

This is a truly excellent film, telling an important & emotional story about the cycle of love & hate in our society. So glad you reviewed it!

Yeyyyyy!!!!

I disagree. Spoiler Alert ...Movies nowadays just lack realism....Now we can decide if they get jailed,they get killed in the act,or they get away with it...for me it is either of the first 2.I wont choose the 3rd becoz they're still committing a crime.Moreover I liked this movie becoz when chief was about to die...I just desperately wanted to reach out to him...saying Evrything is gonna be ok just hold on hold on!!!When he killed himself I shed a tear myself.... Dixon was my fav character as his transition was awesome to watch....Even though he was burned ...beaten....he grew past from that angry self....At first u feel the heat betwn chief and dixon....however after chief passes away....U see the Respect and Lookin upto that dix had 4 the chief....As evryone keeps on hating him chief's departing words like "Seek love be kind u r a gud man u just had bad luck" just changes him as a human being...justt sayin their bond was amazing and the movie was awesome...surely oscarworthy.

Awesome! Been looking forward to this one!!

I've been watching your channel for a long time. Your reasoning behind why you do or don't like movies is solid and understandable. Even if there's a movie where I disagree with your rating (which rarely happens), your reasons and points are still valid and I can understand your perspective. You should have a lot more subs than you do!

Punisher?

Hey Chris, thanks for the review, but I couldn't help but thinking that you overlooked something. You said - and I paraphrase - that she calls out the town for their racism and bigotry. But that would mean that she is different, but she isn't. She is an angry, guilty, selfish person who doesn't care who she hurts as long as she can push her own guilt away. She doesn't call out the problem, because she is part of it.

Finally got a showing of this movie in our town! It was amazing and we loved it! As for the ending, i felt completely satisfied one scene before the ending, when they drove past the billboards, i was good with the ending, but we also got that bonus fantastic 1 min dialogue with them in the car that even more so solidified my love for this great film. So fortunately for me, the one negative you had ends up not bothering me! A+ movie!!

The fact you mentioned this is by the director of In Bruges (which I wasn’t aware of) really makes me curious to watch it. I saw your review of A Silent Voice, tracked down an English dub of it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

Hey Chris will you talk about the Avengers trailer?

punisher review

Ty so much for reviewing this. I do agree a bit for the ending

I'm really looking forward to this!

Review the punisher (Netflix show)

Please review punisher

I was an extra as a paramedic in this film. They shot it in my town. Too bad I've had to wait until this weekend for our theater to show it!

Yes the review I have been waiting for you to do, and I thoughtt that you would like this movie. Some of my favorite movies this year are Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, Wind River, IT, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Thanks for another great movie review.

Review mind hunter and punisher greatness next

Outstanding movie. Best pic of the year!

Great review Chris, thanks.

One of my favorite flicks of the year. Along with The Florida Project. May Catch LadyBird this week. Hoping Call Me by Your Name comes out soon as well.

Criss Stuckmann MINDFREAK

Thank you Chris, you have shown me a new movie to watch!

So glad you reviewed this

Look, I'll say it, I hate ambiguity in movies. I want ALL of my stories wrapped up with a nice bow on top.

*review the damn Punisher already*
