Mildred (Frances McDormand), wearied by seven months of apparent inaction over the murder of her daughter buys advertising on three billboards to bring to public notice the failure of the Police to identify a suspect. Her action brings Mildred into conflict with Police Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) and his offsider Dixon (Sam Rockwell).
Ostensibly from the outset a whodunnit, 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' is in reality a depiction of relationships and self discovery. The drama and occasional violence are balanced by unexpected moments of humour and irony.
The performances are magnificent.
