Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
A mother lost her only daughter to rape and murder. She is underwhelmed by the efforts of the police department in a little town in Missouri to find the perpetrators of the crime. This is moment the film starts.
The mother scrapes together money to rent three derelict billboards at the beginning of town. Not surprisingly the police department is not very happy with being criticized so publicly. So they declare war on the bereft mother. But she will not back down and for 2 hours we see a very moving drama about how the mother tries to find the killer and raper of her daughter. This film is deep and it develops so many characters so deeply that I put in my list of very best movies. Many side stories as woven into a tapestry that is pleasing to the eye.
