Janice T @RT85176184 Aug 25, 2026 This movie is different, but, not great. Why did she return to town so quickly after discovering Tommy Lee? To get his clothes? Also, Meryl Streep was a bit too bubbly inviting 3 mentally ill women into her parlor, as if to serve tea and pie. Also, what was the point of the headstone falling into the river? It had its good moments but it was more disturbing than well acted. The screenplay was overly cliched and folksy.

I loved the story and the setting and it has some of the most interesting characters. The characters of Grace, Miranda and Sonja were fantastic. The scene stealer is John Lithgow as the Reverend.

I am off to watch a whole season of Little house on the praire to detox from.this. Whomever wrote this script needs serious help. See more Jenevieve H @RT56619295 Apr 23, 2026 I was intrigued by the trailer - promising the story of a strong frontierswoman who defied the stereotypes of the time to lead three women (ostensibly driven mad by their befuddled husbands) to safety. What transpired was a bizarrely chaotic story with no clear direction. Now, don't get me wrong, life is complex with no tidy endings and I appreciate a story that can capture that but this film does not know who it is - weaving through the backstories of rape and abuse that shaped female 'hysteria', portraying the powerlessness of white settlers against a foreign and desolate landscape and silhouetting in the cringeworthy vignette of indigenous people as wayward savages. Literally everyone in this film is lost and the film really digs its heels in on that to the very end. I think it was trying to be True Grit without any of the soul of that storyline. Don't watch. Not worth your time. Even if you do believe the early white settlers of this country were somehow heroic. See more Bob J @Bobjonesqwe Feb 3, 2026 This movie had a lot of potential. It’s very dark and has a terrible ending. You will regret watching this movie. I guarantee it. See more Read all reviews
