This trailer from Fox Searchlight promotes Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a feature written and directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Frances McDormand as Mildred Hayes, a mother who’s suffered unimaginable loss: the rape, murder and incineration of her teen daughter. The film begins seven months later, as Hayes is driving down a little-used road near her home. She stops and stares at three dilapidated billboards. She heads to the town advertising office, and pays to rent them. Soon, those billboards will be painted bright red, and emblazoned with three messages: “Raped While Dying.” ‘’And Still No Arrests?” ‘’How Come, Chief Willoughby?”
Thus begins a quest for justice that is full of anger, emotion yet is darkly comic as we are introduced to Ebbing, its characters and their stories.
