The film which left the audiences hanging as the story isn't a complete one.

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2018)

I only watched this movie because it went to Oscars nomination list and also Golden Globes. I didn't have a high hopes for it because I knew that it will turn out to be a drama and yes, it did. It really turned into a drama.
1) The story. The plot of this film is about a woman who lost her daughter. Her daughter was raped by some guy or some gang and died because of it. But the local police didn't find the person or gang who is responsible for that. So, she wrote this story on three billboards outside their town, Ebbing, Missouri just like the movie title said. The rest of the film focuses on the consequences of her actions. There's nothing much in the plot and because of it turned out to be a drama and I'm not a fan of dramas, so, it's kind of boring. But at least, it's watchable because of the following facts, performances of actors and directing.
2) Performances of the actors and actresses. Their performances are so good, especially the supporting actor, Sam Rockwell as Dixon. When I saw Oscars winners list, I wonder why he got the award. But when I saw his performance in the film, no wonder he got the award. He's such a great actor. I really hated the Dixon character. He's such a jerk.
3) Directing. As I've stated in above, this film is drama and I'm so bored when I watch drama. But I think because of the director, I could watch it without feeling boring. For the whole movie to be great, not only screenplay writer needs to be good, but also the director needs to be great too. Only the director can make the movie great, especially when directing dramas. This film turned out to be not that much boring, because of the director's skill, I guess.
4) Sound editing, sound mixing and editing are at normal. No comment on them.
5) Original Score. The original score used in the film is quite normal. But in the film, it quite fits. But it's not that much good. I guess that's why it didn't get an award.
6) Photography/Cinematography. The story is based on the small town, so, there are no so many beautiful scenes. But photography is great. They could make is beautiful to those scenes even the scenes are not that much beautiful. I was amazed when I saw those scenes. So, I'd say it's quite good.
7) OK, here comes likes and dislikes. What I like in this film is if you've done something bad to other people, you will get the same result someday. That's the nature of karma. They could show it in the film clearly. On the other hand, I don't like the end. I feel like the story didn't end that way. They should have stated who raped her daughter. They only stated the guy that Dixon thought he could be the guy, but he wasn't the one. Dixon sure that he is the guy. And then they stated that guy isn't even in the country when that happened. And, they stated Dixon is right that he has done something like that in the other county, but not here. Then, they stated it's classified. Why is it classified? I don't think it's classified because he's commanding officer. Then Dixon and Mildred went to that guy to kill him. So, here's my question. Did they kill that guy? They should have stated those two facts, who raped her daughter and did they kill that guy? But they didn't. They left the audiences hanging. So, I feel like the story didn't end. There should be much more.
All in all, I really hate those films which left the audience to have several ideas and hanging. So, I'm not that much into this film, but it's watchable and enjoyable, but for only one watch.
(P.S: My opinion ONLY.)
