The monologue she delivers when a priest visits her house to tell her she has gone too far, is priceless. Above all because of Mildred Hayes' stubborn character and her ability to verbally humiliate people by her extremely sharp tongue. Although the film is about grief, anger, revenge and violence, it is extremely funny. By doing so, she attracts the attention of the media, angers almost the entire town and causes a succession of increasingly violent actions. Frustrated by the lack of progress of the investigation, Hayes decides to rent three dilapidated billboards, publicly accusing the local police chief of incompetence. She had a daughter too, but the girl was raped and killed on a quiet mountain road not far from home. Hayes is a divorced single mother, living with her son on the outskirts of a small, remote town. The part of Mildred Hayes was written with McDormand in mind. This might well be her best performance ever. Mildred Hayes, the heroine from 'Three Billboards', is a serious contender. It seemed that the pregnant police detective Marge Gunderson from 'Fargo' would forever be the most memorable character of Frances McDormand's acting career.
