Taking action to prod a murder investigation...
“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” stars Frances McDormand as Mildred Hayes, frustrated waiting for several months without the local police arresting a culprit in her daughter’s rape/murder. Her particular target is Police Chief William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson). To light a fire under the investigation, she rents three billboards outside town with a controversial message for Willoughby. They do create a stir, and Mildred becomes an ongoing thorn in the side of not only the police chief, but the entire police department.<br /><br />Complicating matters is that Willoughby, who has a personal cross to bear, is a popular figure in town, and Mildred’s curt behavior, brash attitude, and refusal to let up does not endear her to the neighbors.<br /><br />Director Martin McDonagh has fashioned a dark drama with a cast of interesting characters. Ms. McDormand, whose Mildred most closely resembles her title role in “Olive Kitteridge,” plays the aggrieved mother with a mission like a steamroller crushing all in her path. She may not be likable but she’s never dull. She’s irritatingly stubborn and so tunnel-visioned that she fails to see others’ points of view, yet we root for her to succeed at spurring the authorities into more productive action. Mildred’s humanity becomes apparent in a scene with Willoughby when she is forced to see him as a person, not a badge. She expresses genuine concern, switching on a dime from confrontation to compassion.<br /><br />Under a lesser director, Willoughby might have been portrayed as a country boy redneck, the easy way to go, but that characterization has been overused in movies and would be too simple. Willoughby is decent, patient, and fair. When the billboards go up, he visits Mildred to talk about what he’s done and what obstacles he faces in trying to solve the case. She listens, but hears only platitudes. We also see Willoughby interacting with his men, who respect him. One of them, Dixon (Sam Rockwell), is not very bright and is given to anger outbursts on the job. Yet Willoughby sees in him the makings of a decent cop and, rather than get rid of him, works with him to improve at his job.<br /><br />Another key character is Red Welby (Caleb Landry Jones), the advertising agent who rents the billboards to Mildred and is the indirect cause of the local strife. A simple fellow who just wants to do his job while not turning the town against him, he’s the sort who will smile and sheepishly agree with Willoughby or Mildred, depending on who is standing in front of him. Clearly destined to spend his life in Ebbing, he’s real and quirkily amusing.<br /><br />The tone of the film is basically serious, but there are moments of humor. Rockwell’s Dixon is a source of some laughs early on, since he’s portrayed as a buffoon in a job with authority. Yet we learn that his life isn’t all that great. A failure in most things, he’s finally managed to get through the police academy and secure a job in town. His job means everything. With no wife or family or even a girlfriend, he lives with his beer-swilling mother.<br /><br />This is what makes “Three Billboards…” so intriguing. Like an onion, aspects of the characters are revealed gradually, often contradicting our first impressions.<br /><br />Also in the cast are Zeljko Ivanek as a desk sergeant, Lucas Hedges as Mildred’s son Robbie, and Peter Dinklage as a local guy who’s in a position to do Mildred a badly needed favor.<br /><br />Rated R, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is, on the surface, a tale of righteous anger, but it contains themes of grief, empathy, and the emptiness of revenge. When a movie excels at acting, writing, directing and character development, the result shines. “Three Billboards…” is such a film.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include the featurette “Crucify ‘Em: The Making of Three Billboards” and the short film, “Six Shooter.” A digital copy is enclosed.
