After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter's murder
case, Mildred Hayes
(Frances McDormand)
makes a bold move, painting
three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed
at William Willoughby
(Woody Harrelson),
the town's revered chief of
police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon
(Sam Rockwell),
an
immature mother's boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the
battle between Mildred and Ebbing's law enforcement is only exacerbated.
Written and directed by
Martin McDonagh
(IN BRUGES).
