She was forced to rely upon someone she had nothing but contempt for,her own father,to get back someone she held dear,her daughter.This is the dilemma faced by Maggie Gilkeson(Cate Blanchett).I found myself admiring the strength of Blanchett's character,as well as the character of Jones (Tommy Lee Jones) for his having the strength to return after a long absence.The story is indeed a compelling one,with strong performances by all and strong direction by Ron Howard.I surprised that there aren't more positive reviews of the film,because for me personally,it did it's job and did it well.Though it is set in a western time period,this is not your typical western,which is a good thing because when comes to this genre,we are always looking for something different than the usual stereotype.This film pulls it off.Well done.
