After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter's murder case, Mildred Hayes makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby, the town's revered chief of police. When his second-in-command, Officer Dixon -- an immature mother's boy with a penchant for violence -- gets involved, the battle is only exacerbated.

McDonagh takes the audience's loyalty and swings it around, taking you on an emotionally volatile, but fascinating, drive-by in rural America.

4/4

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri unfolds as a typical revenge vigilantly ploy, and could have stayed so under normal direction and screenwriting. Instead, it gets turned into one of the best pictures of the year.

If Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri carries a lesson or otherwise some underlying thought, then it must be that the abusers of power are struck and wounded, too, and that forgiveness and understanding offer a difficult, if imperfect, salve.

5/5

don't read any spoilers, don't think about the plot, don't even watch the trailer if you can: just get yourself a ticket and go see this film. I guarantee it will be one of the best movies you will see this year.

3/5

When the pressures of guilt and honesty are applied to its many characters, their truer traits and flaws come to the surface like rain drawing out new blooms of promise or the nightcrawler worms of hidden ugliness.

Still good after watching it a second time 10 years later. McDormand and Rockwell are stand outs. Frances should have won for this and not that other film 3 years later.

Sam Rockwell FTW again. Mcdormand and Woody are great here too. It’s a heart breaking story involving loss that will give you a nice cry. It’s a real touch on how the system in America gets in its own way and how frustrating it is for everyone involved. Family trauma and it’s a good solid ending.

This is a powerful film at times, and it has some comedy in it that actually seems to diminish the overall storytelling. I liked it a lot. It just could have been a tiny bit better.
