Review of The Homesman

The Homesman (2014)
8/10
A worthwhile experience
4 March 2015
The Homesman represents a comeback of a movie genre, long forgotten by the public and hence the studios (or is it the other way around ??!!) – the western.

In this case, out the ordinary duplicity: good guy vs bad guy, we have a story that portrays the difficulties of the relationships of the first settlers of the remote America, namely the women.

Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank embark on a perilous journey protecting 3 women gone crazy to a safe destination where they can be treated.

On the way we there we are shown the difficulties in the relationship between an unmarried woman with a lone ex-soldier, that just what's to be left alone.

It is very interesting to see the changes that traumatizing circumstances make in one's was of thinking.

Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank are excellent actors and the movie is also enriched by some all-star cameos by John Lithgow, William Fitchner and Meryl Steep.

For those who like westerns it's a worthwhile experience.
