Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

I realize that there is a lot of controversy around this film, most of which I cannot discuss without giving an awful lot of it away, so I will not, but suffice it to say that I don't agree.
The acting in this is exceptional.  All three main characters are nominated for Academy Awards, so that tell you something.  The story is that a woman's daughter was found raped and murdered in the small town of Ebbing, Missouri.  There was DNA evidence, but it matched no one and the police essentially stopped looking and are waiting to catch a break down the road.  The most likely suspect is someone passing through and the nature of the crime is such that this is likely not his first time.  The mother can't accept that.  She of course had a fight with her teenage daughter,  both because she is not mother of the year and the daughter was what you would expect from someone her age, and then of course, that is the last time they spoke.  So she is looking for redemption, and she finds it in buying space on three billboards on a road with spotty traffic asking why, what are the police doing?  Which stirs up quite a fuss.  Well worth watching, and for sure it will win something I suspect.
