About this product
Product Information
A strong-willed woman recruits a loathsome drifter to help transport three insane women across the unforgiving Nebraska Territories so that they may find sanctuary with a compassionate minister and his wife in this drama directed and co-written by Tommy Lee Jones. Driven to madness by the harsh realities of pioneer life, three women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, and Sonja Richter) living on the outskirts of the American frontier are rescued from certain death by pious Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank), who selflessly takes on the task of transporting them to safety. Along the way, Mary Bee encounters a low-life named George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones) with his head in a noose. In exchange for helping her transport the women, Mary Bee frees the scruffy stranger, and together the group heads east. In the course of their arduous journey, however, they will encounter ruthless bandits and vengeful Native Americans. Meanwhile, the greatest test to their resolve may be the harsh winter that's blowing in fast. Meryl Streep, John Lithgow, Hailee Steinfeld, William Fichtner, Tim Blake Nelson, and James Spader co-star.Product Identifiers

Plain as an old tin pan
Poor Hilary - how many of us have walked in her shoes ? She has land, a clean house, money of her own, a horse named Dorothy, yet she is described by potential suitors as being bossy and plain as an old tin pan ( or bucket, I forgot now ). She is a force to be reckoned with as she takes on a job that the spineless men in her town won't touch with a ten foot pole and forget about the other women helping her. Her desperation to marry mixed with her determination to bring those 3 lost souls back home is heart wrenching. Yes it is bleak, and not full of any special effects, but it does not need any, it is a story of desperation and determination and works just fine as it is.

Very well-done but very sad.
This is a must-see if you are interested in how women were affected by the hardships of pioneer life. Yet it would be difficult to watch this film more than once. It is very sad. It is fascinating, although I'm not sure "entertaining" is the right word to describe a film in which women get raped, become hopelessly insane, and commit murder or suicide. If you are a woman who is depressed because your husband is abusive, or because you have been rejected by every man you meet, I would advise you to skip this film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

awe inspiring
i watched this movie a few days ago and it still is haunting me. it made me feel for these poor unfortunate women and wonder if this could have been real. this movie is about 3 women on the lonely prairie going feeble minded, and what it takes to get them back to the east coast. great acting by tommy lee jones and hilary swank!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

True to the Midwestern eria
When boys were men and men were boys and girls became women way to fast. And neither had any choice because of the hard times they lived, in a area most of us knew nothing about. IT takes you on a non stop, un-inspected turns, and hardships and unbearable tragedy of this time .That's not really that long ago. Which possibly may give some insight on just how far we have come today with growth.

Great Hillary Swank and Tommy Lee Jones performances
This is one of the best modern westerns. I'm surprised at how well Swank does at playing such as pious and serious woman. She really should have gotten an award for her acting in this one!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Misleading and intriging.
Story starts one way and then ends up another e.g. the characters start out ignoring each other, but in the end, acknowledge each other`s good intentions and qualities.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Swank and Jones have created a work of art
A true classic!! Strict accuracy of detail, true to life on the Nebraska plains in mid-1800's, and its harshness to women. A story that should be told.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
