Three Billboards: The Violent Grace of Martin McDonagh

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 9:13 am By Jonathan Dorst

Early on in the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri there is a brief shot of a character reading a book. The book, acting like a literary product placement, is Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find.” O’Connor was a Southern Catholic writer who was known for stories with shocking acts of violence followed by moments of real grace. It was part of O’Connor’s philosophy that to fully understand grace, we must see and feel human depravity. Read more

Justice demands punishment for sin and love offers a perfect substitute. Read more
