A darkly comic drama with hidden depths, Three Billboards is the third film by Oscar-winning director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges). Months have passed without an arrest for the brutal murder of Mildred Hayes’ (Frances McDormand) daughter. Mildred makes a bold move, buying three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell) gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement intensifies.
