I get people hate cops, even my libertarian friends have jaded views of the law. This opens the door to look inside the Ebbing police department which surprise surprise is full of racism and bigotry. Because there have been no leads on the murder, she rents three abandoned billboards near her home, which in sequence read: “Raped while dying”, “Still no arrests?”, and “How come, Chief Willoughby?”.
So what is this film about? Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) is an extremely angry mother who lost her daughter in a violent rape and murder seven months ago. When the reviews for the film came out and it got universal praise, once again reading between the lines the praise came from the film’s commentary on criminal justice reform and police brutality aka…cops. Hollywood loves social commentary as long as it is something they approve of. When I first saw the trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri it wasn’t hard to read between the lines of what they were aiming for.
