Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

In a small town, a woman whose daughter was raped and murdered puts billboards on the roadside near the town, questioning the police chief about the unsolved crime.

Drama with touches of humor. The dialogue at times lacks a more serious consideration of psychology or social context. There is a distinctly sophomoric quality to the script in general. The low point is possibly when a character's letter teaches an ex-policeman to cast aside hate, and embrace love instead. High philosophy indeed. The plot does not seem to be interested in exciting developments or surprises, and the film is poor also as a mere social chronicle.

Rating: 33
