ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

billcr12 I took a shot at this based on a few early rave reviews of 9 and 10. This ain't Unforgiven. A young woman works at a bordello in Kentucky in 1899. It seems as she has become the mistress of the owner in a beautiful house. He hires a really nasty man to beat up people who owe him money. After a while he tires of his young mistress and she seeks freedom from him. A good guy appears and the rest is pretty formula; nothing new here. The lead actress is Australian but she manages a southern accent fairly well. The cast is competent and the story moves along without any dead spots. The scenery is nice and the ending a bit of a surprise. Overall, it is o.k.

dancorey What if Michael Mann made a Western about female empowerment? Writer/director James Cotten brings a lush palette and a meditative, almost prayerful style to this drama/thriller about Julie, a woman looking for a second chance at life on the frontier. Wonderful performances from the entire cast, featuring Stef Dawson in a breakout role as Julie, David Thomas Jenkins, Kiowa Gordon, Matt Dallas and Robert Craighead as memorable Western villains, and a notable standout performance by a force-of-nature Laurel Harris.

gypsyjunklady I was so fortunate to have caught this at the last showing in my town, which just so happens to be Fort Smith, Arkansas. In a town that birthed out stories like True Grit, and sees multiple films done in the area regularly, we get a little uppity about our westerns here and we are notoriously a tough crowd for them. This film did not disappoint! My friend and I both were amazed at how well this film was produced and the acting was incredible. If it would not have been the last showing that evening before it was moved to another theatre, I would have gone back to see it again the next day, likely with a very large party of people dragged along. Its that good. It will be added to my collection the minute it goes up for sale and in my opinion, is right up there with many movies that were on ten times it's budget. It has that haunted quality that puts it in my top five fave westerns of all time. Highly recommend!

bobbiesox-50603 Enjoyed watching Julie come to life from a dark past to a future that she took control of. Felt like Julie inspired others to take control of their lives and fight back, loved the ending when payback came. Thanks for bringing her story to life in a western film. The actors and actresses brought each character to life in just the right way. Felt like I was at the finish line cheering on Julie!
