THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING MISSOURI
FRI 9 NOV
After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, commissioning three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated.
Quotes from main character Mildred Hayes:
“What’s the law on what you can and cannot say on a billboard?”
“I mean, to me, it seems like the local police department is too busy goin’ ‘round torturing black folks to be bothered doing anything about solving actual crime, so I kinda thought these here billboards might, y’know, concentrate their minds some.”
“Jeez, then I guess it’s just his word against mine, huh? Kinda like in all those rape cases you hear about, except in this instance, the chick ain’t losing.”
