Review of The Homesman (2014) by Elizabeth Weitzman for New York Daily News — 13 Nov 2014
The screenplay, adapted from Glendon Swarthout’s 1988 novel, lacks its heroine’s rigid spine. The story buckles in the latter half. As a result, we wind up watching two very different movies. The first forges ahead with Cuddy’s fiery righteousness.
The second takes a much safer route, in which her pioneering spirit is sorely missed.
