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.

No notes. Literally my favorite movie I’ve ever seen. I saw this 4 months ago and haven’t shut up about yet. Go watch it

It's wonderful and weird and brilliant. In fact, it might be Martin McDonagh's best, and I don't say that lightly

This movie has a very engaging plot and amazing acting, but some forced coincidences and a third act that ultimately leads to nowhere makes everything feel pretty frustrating in the end.

One of my favourite films... Possibly ever! This film is heartbreaking, but also beautiful and comic. In my humble opinion an absolute must see film of recent years!

Esta chida. Tiene buen ritmo, actuaciones de algunos buenas y de algotros pesimas. Me hubiera gustado que pasaran una pequeña escena del crimen o que hubieran dado más detalles sobre ello y también saber el final.

Clearly well thought out plot, and great actors. It tells an emotional, heartbreaking story with a nice touch of humor. Loved how every single character was written!
