Three Billboards-1

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” has already received several accolades, including four Golden Globes, and it is easy to see why. Thanks to exceptional writing and acting, it deals with heavy issues with a mix of humor and humanity that never trivializes the subject matter.

Frances McDormand stars as Mildred Hayes, a mother whose daughter was raped and murdered months earlier. The local police have no leads on who did it, so, in desperation, Mildred purchases three billboards outside of town asking Sheriff Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) why there have been no arrests.
