It's hard to hate any character

I am used to watching all kinds of films that pursue political correctness in recent years, and I like this film that shows contradictions and tells stories well.

The film tells the story of a small town in Missouri, United States, a mother whose daughter was raped and murdered because the case of her daughter's murder was delayed, so she rented three billboards in the town and confronted the sheriff in charge of the case. s story.

Although the origin of the story is simple, it involves many residents in the town. The brave and stubborn but hysterical mother who tried to find out the real murderer of her daughter, the sheriff Willoughby who was suffering from cancer but couldn't help and finally committed suicide, the seemingly violent and racist police officer Dixon who still had integrity... (of course And more) Each character is set in a very full-bodied and sensible way: it's not black and white, and there's no absolute 'decent' or 'villain'. This makes it hard for the audience to hate any of them after watching it, and will only feel that there is no easy word in the adult world, and everyone is doing their best to do what they think is right.

At the same time, the content of the movie is quite rich but not messy, the plot is ups and downs, and there are several reversals, which increases the watchability of the movie to a certain extent.
