Award-winning actress Frances McDormand (Fargo) delivers a stunningly powerful performance in this darkly comic drama that has been hailed as one of the year’s best films. A murdered girl’s defiant mother (McDormand) boldly paints three local signs with a controversial message, igniting a furious battle with a volatile cop (Sam Rockwell) and the town’s revered chief of police (Woody Harrelson).




REVIEW:
Frances McDormand, you're my spirit animal.
Seeing her in this movie, playing this fiercely-loving mother, I am so in awe! She was epic! Her role in this movie was epic! The emotions it stirred in me as a mother was epic! I can totally see why this is an award-winning film. 
If you're a parent, ask yourself what you would do if someone harmed one of your kids. Now ask yourself if you would ever give up on getting justice for those crimes against your child? 
Now watch the film. You will think you won't like …

Maelyn was not born a princess. The king found her as a child, the lone survivor of a poor village slaughtered by Red Fever. Suddenly she became a princess of Runa Realm, the first of nine orphans adopted by the king. By her eighteenth year, Maelyn rules over Runa and a family of nine sisters.

Even Uncle Jarrod, the High King of Grunwold, seems determined to prove that Maelyn no longer deserves to be a princess.
