1. The Homesman movie review & film summary (2014) | Roger Ebert
Nov 14, 2014 · “The Homesman,” despite the title, is about women. Women are the center of the action, women drive the action forward, women are not only ...
It's a risky film. Sometimes the risks pay off, sometimes they don't, but the feeling of risk infuses the film with chaos, humor, violence, beauty. The Homesman doesn't play things safe, and that's a welcome change.

I'm going to have to disagree and say this is easily one of the best films of the year. Are there the occasional misstep or bizarre decision? Yes. But there are also moments that are among the best American cinema has seen in years. It is these shining moments that if anything shows Jones to have grown into a much more assured director since Three Burials, even if the whole doesn't always follow suit. Whatever TLJ does next – and I sincerely hope its thud of a release doesn't prevent him from making another Western – I think there's the potential for something truly special.
