Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I saw the previews and kept waiting for the opening. It only played in a few theaters and closed very quickly. I liked it but it got very poor reviews and was a mega flop. The ending was very different and unexpected.

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I love Tommy Lee Jones as a cowboy, but this was one strange movie. I don't feel cheated only spending $1.50 (and tax) to "Red Box" it, but I'm glad I didn't spring for tickets to see it at the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt.Zion Yellowboy, SASS #44074 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I saw it. Strange ending but somewhat in tune with the plot. The beginning,why the women went crazy, was rather disturbing but realistic for the time. Good job by TLJ. I also liked "The Missing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohanaqua Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Pards, I may be the odd man out here but I think this movie is a masterpiece. It is not your conventional Western by any means but a very pleasant surprise. Light on the gunplay and action but still very well done both in acting and story. Humorous where it needs to be. It comes from the book by Glendon Swarthout who brought us "The Shootist" (my personal favorite JW movie). "The Homesman" has been called by some liberal schmuck a "feminist Western" and I don't quite know how to respond to that, but whatever it may be it is pretty darn entertaining. Me and the missus not only watched it twice in two consecutive snowbound days, I bought the Kindle book and read it as well. As usual the book sheds more light on the subject but I endorse both wholeheartedly. Give 'em a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Bisley Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Everyone seemed to do a pretty good job in it. It's one of those movies that falls into the western genre due to the time period and location but doesn't have the same formula as what most would consider a classic western does.

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 being a history teacher and knowing what "Prairie madness or prairie fever" was I enjoyed it and see that it was very true to what could and did happen at that time, My better half was kind of stunned by what was happening.
