After the local authorities fail to catch the people responsible for committing unthinkable crimes against her daughter, Mildred (Frances McDormand) takes matters into her own hands and uses three billboards to create a bold message directed at the town’s chief of police (Woody Harrelson). Not only does this cause waves with the chief himself, but also his second-in-command, Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), a hot-headed cop that abuses his position a little too often.
McDormand plays a mother on the edge who is both simultaneously grieving and yet driven, opposite Harrelson who conveys being between a rock and a hard place brilliantly. Martin McDonagh (In Bruges & Seven Psychopaths) has a knack for bringing us characters with horrendous personality traits that you can’t help but warm to. And that is certainly the case with Rockwell’s Dixon, you’ll either love to hate him or hate to love him, that’s for sure.
Even though – at its core – the movie revolves around some pretty serious subject matter, McDonagh is no stranger when it comes to combining drama with dark comedy perfectly and it’s fair to say, he has certainly done it again with Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, get involved.
