Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri is a dark comedy/crime thriller.
The main focus is on Mildred (Frances McDormand) putting up three billboards to make the police department focus on catching the killer who murdered her daughter.
Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) is the Chief of the police department and he doesn't think that the three billboards are very fair because he believes that he and his department did the best they could within the law of their job.
Dixon (Sam Rockwell) is an officer who is hell-bent on making Mildred take the billboards down. Dixon is a guy who will go outside the law in order to accomplish whatever he sets his mind to.
The movie doesn't have a main focus on what it tries to tell.
Is this about how people should come together for the greater good regardless of their differences?
Is this about how people never can truly see eye to eye when there is a greater situation at hand?
Everyone in here, for the most part, has a story to tell and yet none of this focuses on what I came to see in the first place.
I thought this movie was going to be like Gone Girl mixed with comedy and that's not what I got.
What I got was a movie that's funny, heartfelt, and genuine, but it doesn't have a focus on what story it actually wants to tell.
I was very disappointed with this movie, it could've been so much more.
