Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Mildred rents three signs on the road into town and asks why the police have not arrested anyone for her daughter’s murder. McDonagh lets the billboards start a war and then refuses to keep the sides clean. Frances McDormand plays Mildred as a person who will burn a station and still be right about the question. Woody Harrelson’s chief is dying. Sam Rockwell’s Dixon is the deputy the town already knows. The Searchlight trailer is red band and loud. The film’s turn is a car ride.
