Great movie and quick delivery by Zavvi.

This 2017 crime drama, written, directed, and produced by Martin Martin McDonagh & starring Frances McDormand is McDonagh's best film to date and Frances McDormand or Fargo fame is at her sublime best. I haven't seen a film this profoundly good for more than a decade; a finely balanced work of comedy, tragedy and, of course, a great plot. With dark humor and sometimes difficult scenes the film deals with the stages of grief from the perspective of a mother who has lost a daughter in horrific circumstances. She deals with her anger and bitterness at first by directing it towards the chief of police, who has problems of his own in the form of terminal cancer. The war of words between her and the police department turns into a physical war that culminates in the police headquarters being burned down. The writing is excellent and keeps you switching your sympathies from one camp to the other until the two strongest opponents form an unlikely alliance. Over use of strong language is the only complaint I would have for an otherwise intriguing and thought provoking film. sorry for going on a bit but really do love this film and would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it yet

One of my favourite films ever. Stunning performances all round & well deserved Oscar winner. Brutal at times but also desperately sad & very dark humour. The scenery is fantastic & was well worth upgrading to 4K edition.
