Film Night – Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Director: Martin McDonagh
2017, 115 minutes, Certificate 15

After months of apparent police inaction in her daugher’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message to the local police chief (Woody Harrelson). When Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an officer with a background of violence and racism also gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s police reaches crisis point. An Oscar-winning, darkly comic drama of pain, anger and forgiveness.
