Review of The Homesman (2014) by Jake A — 19 Mar 2017

Though by no means the best the genre has to offer this is a Western like few others with the primary focus being on the hardships and expectations of women from the time. The cast is stellar and they all put in solid performances, it looks great, what action there is is well crafted, the locations are equally beautiful and terrifying in their secluded and desolate nature, the score is excellent and though the plot is strong and I like the premise it unfortunately doesn't quite feel satisfying enough but what is there is relatively enjoyable and at least original.
