Martin McDonagh Confronts ‘Three Billboards’ Being Slammed as Racist and a ‘Gross Misstep’: ‘It’s Hurtful…Was It That Bad?’

Zack Sharf Martin McDonagh is already the toast of awards season thanks to his latest movie “The Banshees of Inisherin,” which dazzled the Venice Film Festival with a 13-minute standing ovation and the prizes for best screenplay and best actor for Colin Farrell.
