The three billboards are a catalyst, creating and accelerating crises that are only indirectly connected to Mildred’s own tragedy.įrances McDormand’s face eloquently conveys someone who is past hoping, past fearing, though not past caring. The police chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) coolly declines to be provoked, with troubles of his own, but his incompetent, jeeringly racist deputy Dixon (Sam Rockwell) takes a very different view.
#THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING MISSOURI SOUNDTRACK TV#
The three billboards are cathartic monuments to her rage and grief they attract the attention of local TV news (though not apparently social media) and astonish and infuriate the town authorities in ways she clearly intends and welcomes. So Mildred rents three unused billboards just outside of town, demanding to know why the town’s police chief has achieved precisely nothing. Some time previously, Mildred’s teenage daughter was raped and murdered and no arrests have been made.
She is separated, working in an uninviting gift shop and living with her son Robbie (Lucas Hedges) while her no-account husband Charlie (John Hawkes) has left her to be with a 19-year-old woman employed at the town zoo, a place which we never see.
McDormand is Mildred Hayes, a middle-aged woman toughened and weatherbeaten by tragedy, who sometimes affects a bandana, giving her the look of a careworn warrior. Careworn warrior … Frances McDormand in Three Billboards.
