Angry over the lack of progress in the investigation, Mildred rents three abandoned billboards near her home, and posts on them : `` Raped While Dying '', `` And Still No Arrests ? '', and `` How Come, Chief Willoughby ? '' The billboards upset the townspeople, including Sheriff Bill Willoughby ( Woody Harrelson ) and Officer Jason Dixon ( Sam Rockwell ), the latter being a racist and a violent alcoholic. The open secret that Willoughby suffers from terminal pancreatic cancer adds to everyone 's disapproval. Mildred and her depressed son Robbie are harassed and threatened, but to Robbie 's chagrin, she stays firm about keeping the billboards up. While Willoughby is sympathetic to Mildred 's frustration, he finds the billboards an unfair attack on his character. Angered by Mildred 's lack of respect for his authority, Dixon threatens businessman Red Welby, who had rented Mildred the billboards, and he arrests her friend and coworker, Denise, on trivial marijuana possession charges. Mildred is also visited by her abusive ex-husband Charlie, who blames her for their daughter 's death. Willoughby brings Mildred in for questioning after she injures her dentist in an altercation in the dental clinic. During the interview, Willoughby coughs up blood. He leaves the hospital against medical advice and spends an idyllic day with his wife Anne and their two daughters, then commits suicide. He leaves suicide notes for several people, including one to Mildred, in which he explains that she was not a factor in his suicide, and that he secretly paid to keep the billboards up for another month, amused at the trouble this will bring her and hoping that they will keep attention on the murder. Mildred is threatened by a crop - haired stranger in her store. Dixon reacts to the news of Willoughby 's death by assaulting Welby and throwing him out of a window. This is witnessed by Willoughby 's replacement, Abercrombie, who fires Dixon. The billboards are destroyed by arson. Mildred retaliates by tossing Molotov cocktails at the police station, which she believes is unoccupied for the night. However, Dixon is there to read a letter left for him by Willoughby, which advises him to let go of hate and learn to love, as the only way to realize his wish to become a detective. Dixon escapes with Angela 's case file, but suffers severe burns. Mildred 's acquaintance James witnesses the incident and provides Mildred with an alibi, claiming they were on a date. Dixon is treated for his burns, and he is temporarily confined in the same hospital room as Welby, to whom he apologizes. Discharged from the hospital, Dixon overhears the man who threatened Mildred bragging in a bar of an incident similar to Angela 's murder. He notes the Idaho license plate number of the man 's vehicle, then provokes a fight. At home later, he removes a sample of the man 's DNA from under his fingernails. Meanwhile, Mildred goes on a date with James to thank him for the alibi. Charlie enters with his 19 - year - old girlfriend Penelope, and he admits to burning the billboards. Mildred tells Charlie to treat Penelope well, and she leaves. Abercrombie informs Dixon that the DNA sample does not match DNA found on Angela 's body, and that the man was overseas on military duty at the time of the murder. Mildred and Dixon conclude that the man must be guilty of some other rape, and set out for Idaho to kill him. On the way, Mildred confesses to Dixon that she set the police station fire, though he indicates that he knew it was her all along. They express reservations about their mission, but agree to decide what to do along the way. Cast Frances McDormand as Mildred Hayes Woody Harrelson as William ' Bill ' Willoughby Sam Rockwell as Jason Dixon Abbie Cornish as Anne Willoughby John Hawkes as Charlie Hayes Peter Dinklage as James Caleb Landry Jones as Red Welby Kerry Condon as Pamela Darrell Britt - Gibson as Jerome Lucas Hedges as Robbie Hayes Željko Ivanek as Desk Sergeant Amanda Warren as Denise Kathryn Newton as Angela Hayes Samara Weaving as Penelope Clarke Peters as Chief Abercrombie Brendan Sexton III as Crop - Haired Guy Sandy Martin as Jason Dixon 's Mother Production McDonagh was inspired to write Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri after seeing billboards about an unsolved crime while traveling `` somewhere down in the Georgia, Florida, Alabama corner ''. `` The rage that put a bunch of billboards like that up was palpable and stayed with me '', McDonagh said. Of writing his scenario, McDonagh noted, `` once I decided, in my head, that it was a mother, everything fell into place ''. The character of Mildred was written with Frances McDormand in mind, and likewise the character of Dixon was written specifically for Rockwell. McDormand initially felt that she was older than the character as it was written, and suggested that Mildred instead be Angela 's grandmother ; McDonagh disagreed, feeling that it would change the story too much. McDormand 's husband Joel Coen persuaded her to take the part regardless. McDormand took inspiration for her character from John Wayne ; and Rockwell, wanting to make his character `` the exact opposite '' of Mildred, took inspiration for his character in part from Wayne 's co-star in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Lee Marvin. The titular location Ebbing, in the U.S. state of Missouri, is fictional. Principal photography began on May 2, 2016, in Sylva, North Carolina, and ran for 33 days. Music Main article : Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri ( soundtrack ) The musical score was written by Carter Burwell, who had also supplied the score for McDonagh 's films In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths. As well as Burwell 's score, the film features songs by Joan Baez, Monsters of Folk, Townes Van Zandt, and the Four Tops.

On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film had a weighted average score of 88 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale. Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised the film 's performances, stating `` It 's Mildred 's glowering refusal to back down that defines her, and McDormand brilliantly spotlights the conflicted humanity beneath the stony façade, '' and called Rockwell 's performance a `` revelation ''. Steve Pond, writing for TheWrap, praised McDonagh 's writing, calling it `` Very funny, very violent and surprisingly moving ''. Conversely, others have criticized the film 's script. In her review for The New York Times, Manohla Dargis wrote `` ( McDonagh 's ) jokes can be uninterestingly glib with tiny, bloodless pricks that are less about challenging the audience than about obscuring the material 's clichés and overriding theatricality ''. In a column for The Daily Beast, liberal blogger Ira Madison III called the film 's treatment of Rockwell 's character `` altogether offensive, '' arguing that the character 's described racism was handled insensitively, writing `` McDonagh 's attempts to script the black experience in America are often fumbling and backward and full of outdated tropes ''.

Activism inspired by the Film On February 15, 2018, the campaign group Justice4Grenfell, an advocacy group created in response to the Grenfell Tower fire, hired three vans with electronic screens in a protest against perceived inaction in response to the fire. The vans were driven around London, and displayed messages in the style of the billboards in the film : ' 71 Dead ', ' And Still No Arrests ? ', ' How Come ? ' In response to the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that took place on February 14, 2018, in Parkland, Florida, activist group Avaaz had three vans circle Florida senator Marco Rubio 's offices displaying ' Slaughtered in School ', ' And Still No Gun Control ? ', ' How Come, Marco Rubio ? ' On the night of February 15, 2018, the movement # OccupyJustice set up three billboards and a number of banners in Malta, marking the four - month anniversary of the murder of the journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The billboards bore the text ' A Journalist Killed. No Justice. ', ' A Country Robbed. No Justice. ', and ' No Resignations. No Justice. ' The authorities removed the billboards the following day, stating that they were illegal. The government was criticized for this move, and a day after their removal, activists laid down banners with similar text near Auberge de Castille, the Office of the Prime Minister. Outside the Bristol city centre on February 3, 2018, a mural was erected depicting three billboards reading ' Our NHS is dying ', ' And still no more funding ', and ' How come, Mrs May '. It was installed by the groups People 's Republic of Stokes Croft and Protect Our NHS in response to the privatization of the National Health Service ( NHS ) and the death of a 15 year old girl that has been allegedly attributed to the lack of resources by the NHS. On February 22, 2018, the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations, protesting the inaction of the UN 's role within the Syrian Civil War, set up three billboards outside the United Nations building in New York that read ' 500,000 Dead in Syria ', ' And still no action ? ', and ' How come, Security Council '. Both McDormand and McDonagh have responded positively to the protests, with McDonagh saying `` You could n't ask for anything more than for an angry film to be adopted by protests '' and McDormand saying she is `` thrilled that activists all over the world have been inspired by the set decoration of the three billboards in Martin 's film.
