I’ve
seen this movie twice and am sure I’ll be watching it again. The main story centers around a mother whose
daughter has been raped and murdered, with the killer never being found. Feeling frustrated and like the police haven’t
done enough to solve the case, she decides to put up three billboards “calling
out” the chief of police for not trying hard enough. Needless to say, this causes quite a
commotion in their small town. This film
turned out to be much deeper than I’d expected.
Besides the main story, it went into many different subplots that
covered anger, revenge, violence, forgiveness, change, racial tensions, and
many different areas that really make you think about the way we all live. Everyone is “real” and says pretty much what
they’re thinking, which was a nice change from some movies. I felt like I almost knew these people by the
end of the movie and that just made it that much better to me. I liked it the first time I saw it in the
theater and liked it even better the second time. If you want an unpredictable movie that might
hit you pretty hard, give this one a shot!
