Review of True Grit (2010) by Taplinger — 04 Jan 2011
I seldom give a movie "10" because it has to be wonderful in every way that cinema can be exciting and satisfying. This was it. I naively assumed that everyone would love this Coen extravaganza - how could they not? "True Grit" proves there is no accounting for taste.
Perhaps it is love of the English language that holds this movie together and for people who could care less about language spoken wonderfully, it seems a pretentious Western. But if you haven't seen it, love language, like the Coens, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and young fresh amazingly talented young actors (Mattie), do yourself a favor - put up your spurs, tilt back your Stetson, pour a shot of raw, eye-smarting saloon whiskey, roll up a Bull Durham cigarette, and get ready for a wonderful treat.
