COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Thought provoking submitted by Nancianna Girbach on July 7, 2015, 2:19pm Mesmerizing, horrific, bleak, heart-wrenching and compelling are words that come to mind after watching this movie. The silences are as telling as the dialogue. Tommy Lee Jones as the flawed drifter and Hilary Swank as the desperate and lonely Great Plains pioneer woman give quietly outstanding, unforgettable performances. It took a while for my thoughts to settle after the film was over. The extras with cast interviews and how they shot the film are well worth watching as well.

Warning........some VERY strong/disturbing images..........

reality submitted by johnbiancke on July 16, 2015, 8:40pm For me this movie was a major dose of reality into the hardships and traumas brought on by the settlers in the Nebraska Territory. There are no candy-coated scenes in this movie. I thought about it long after watching it.
