CULVER CITY, Calif. (Reuters) - Tucked into a suburban Los Angeles office between her convent and a chapel, film critic Sister Rose Pacatte sits at her computer and plays a clip from edgy dark comedy "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."

The numerous expletives in the award-winning movie don't faze the 66-year-old Daughter of St. Paul. Sitting at a desk surrounded by inspirational posters, a treadmill and a bobblehead of Pope Francis, she rates "Three Billboards" as her favourite movie of 2017.
