The language is also extremely strong, with many uses of "f--k," "s--t," the "N" word," "c--t," and much more. A married couple has sex off the screen (mentioned but not shown). The characters smoke cigarettes and drink socially, and there are references to problems with drinking, hangovers and drug use.

WHAT'S THE STORY? In Three Crime Announcements, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) remains understandably distressed and angry one year after her daughter was raped and murdered, and the perpetrator was never found. While driving a lonely stretch of road, Mildred sees three unused billboards. Then she rents them and puts a message for the local police chief, Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) calling him for his failure to find the person who killed his daughter. His act does not sit well with his fellow citizens, especially with police officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell). Mildred finds herself and her friends threatened on several occasions, especially when someone tries to burn down their billboards. Meanwhile, Willoughby is keeping his own terrible secret. Then, it is none other than Dixon inspired by Willoughby, who steps forward and tries to help.
