The movie is quite disturbing. It seemed like everyone's a suspect in a small community of rural folks. When the police force cannot find or arrest a suspect or the criminal is not jailed then everyone's focus on the integrity of the police whether they are being lazy or just doing nothing while they were paid for the job.
Many months had passed and Mildred Hayes was in severe depression because the abductor/ rapist/ murderer of her daughter Angela Hayes hasn't been found yet. So she decided to ask the Ebbing Advertising Agency to put up a billboard sign to shake up the police department under Chief Willowghby and in the message, what a startling message of incorrect grammar. It's kind of weird. They are in Missouri? (Where the word Missouri originated?) Is that a Japanese word? Where the original inhabitants of Missouri came from? Why Ebbing is the name for the place in Missouri? Ebbinghaus? You know the psychologist Ebbinghaus? He pioneered the "Learning curve of memory." Whether Carl Jung or the famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud learnt from him or they all learned from Sigmund actually.
The many questions on Mildred's husband having a 19 year old girl the same age as her deceased daughter, as a girlfriend? I haven't seen this movie in the cinema. This is the first time I watched this movie. So I first thought the "girl" was actually Angela.
Why the Chief Willowghby killed himself, on a suicide when he will die anyway because of cancer. It only made him a suspect. But paying extra $5,000 for the billboard sign comes up like a way to sympathize with Mildred's grief of losing her daughter Angela. The police headquarters were shaken up that Dixon the "investigator" went upstairs to Ebbing Advertising Agency, punched the manager on his face and throw him up out of the window, fortunately, he landed so alive after the fall. Wow! That's totally amazing! (Like the scene in the PREACHER when the weirdo was still alive after falling from a building).

You know aliens love rural community. Heh! LOL. No. sorry it's not funny. Their community is probably inhabited by aliens from another planet. You know the story/article about aliens published in "Popular Mechanics" and how the agents assigned to capture the supposedly aliens, and how they will welcome them once their spaceship landed on their land.

Dixon's brutal attack was witnessed by the black police officer (?) who happened to drop by at the police station and took Dixon's badge and gun. He was fired of course!
Mildred Hayes was not convinced on what's happening at the police station, she was not buying all those craps that she decided to do something drastic and burned the station while Dixon was there trying to search for something and was too late to know that the station was already burning. What? He didn't even hear the noise and didn't smell the fire and smoke? I mean he is too slow to reaction. Anyway, he was able to save the police report and other documents regarding Angela Hayes's case.
There are certain movie scenes that are linking to other movies of suspense presented and had reflected to this movie adding value and mysteries to an already mysterious crime of rape and vicious violence. Is there a sequel to this movie?
How fast NCIS can find out if the test is proven correct and find the suspect? Real fast because of highly competitive agents who worked efficiently, not waiting months, not waiting years. They act right immediately wasting no time to capture the criminal or criminals. It's also because NCIS can declassified what is classified. For them nothing is classified and nothing is confidential. The system they used is highly modern technology unlike in the movie "Three Billboards _Outside_ Ebbing, Missouri."
The MESSAGE ON THE BILLBOARDS: Eye-catching message of Mildred or that message was from the minds of Ebbing Advertising Agency? Message made/created by writer? Let us analyze it: "Raped While Dying. Still No Arrests. How come, Chief Willoughby?"
Frances McDormand as Mildred Hayes wants a message that attack whoever is the suspect or the one who murdered her daughter. It's by hook or by crook that she needs the answer right immediately. The message sent a shocking force similar to an "earthquake with twisters" in the small rural area of Ebbing, Missouri.
Problem in that area is: I think that area is in the period of under-developed or it's a rural, farmlands, not into the high tech yet. By the way, Ebbing, Missouri is a fictitious place used in this movie. Is it? If it's real then it's like watching Oklahoma. The writer/author of this novel/movie is acting in the sense of justice for the victim.
The problem with high technology is ... what could be the conflict? Somebody evil can change the result with the click of a mouse. Hackers can hack and they are paid by the devil disguised as humans. You know there are so many million demons, evil and devils in this world. That even Jesus was tempted by the devil and how you an ordinary human being can escape from the devil? can you defeat the evil of this world? You think that's ridiculous but actually not laughing matter. When money is involved too many are lured to do something evil. Money is not evil, some humans are evil.
