Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Months after daughter Angela's murder remains unsolved, Mildred Hayes rents three roadside billboards criticizing Ebbing police chief Bill Willoughby. The public challenge provokes townspeople and volatile officer Jason Dixon while grief hardens into competing anger.

Red billboards, police rooms, a dental office, letters, fire, roadside space, and Carter Burwell's score let words create physical consequences. The three leads reveal unexpected tenderness without canceling harm.
