Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Raped while dying, and still no arrests. How come, Chief Willoughby?
After seven 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 Bill Willoughby, the town's revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Jason Dixon, an immature mother's boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing's law enforcement is only exacerbated.

Some obvious wokeness, but not strong enough to avoid a good movie !
Very good movie overall, despite some obvious wokeness that won't overpower the quality of this work. Some great actor performances too.

All in good fun
"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" caught me off-guard, because it was listed in my app as a "crime drama", but it is hilarious, a dark comedy. Borderline woke elements are in jest.
The main character barbedly asks a racist cop about the "nigger torturing business", and he corrects, "It's 'persons-of-color' torturing business, these days." You have to admit that's funny. It is an insightful social commentary as well, with a racist insisting on politically correct speech, a sign of the times.
My only complaint is about the casting. The Australian accents of Abbie Cornish and Samara Weaving and the Westeros accent of Tyrion Lannister feel out of place in the small town setting. I have never once encountered an Aussie or Westerosi in rural America.
Overall, it is a delightful film. The Daily Wire style comedic bits about a racist character are a net plus.
