Summary

It’s Oscars season and we’re reviewing the Academy’s big category picks. ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ (starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell) is directed by Martin McDonagh and has nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (McDormand), Best Supporting Actor (Harrelson, Rockwell), Best Original Screenplay and more.

Synopsis:

"After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter's murder case, Mildred Hayes makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby, the town's revered chief of police. When his second-in-command, Officer Dixon -- an immature mother's boy with a penchant for violence -- gets involved, the battle is only exacerbated."

We put the movie through our critically acclaimed rating system, which grades based on four categories:
1. Did we like it?
2. How did everyone look?
3. Will we steal stuff from it?
4. Is it problematic?
