The Homesman** (15)
Ipswich Film Theatre
(US 2014)
A hard-working spinster hires a wanted criminal to transport three mentally unstable women across the harsh country to care for them.
One of the best films of 2014 comes just on the cusp of the New Year, a beautiful looking Western conveying the harsh treatment of human beings, the most brutally honest Western since Unforgiven with some powerful and at times unbearable scenes and moving performances, even if it has a major narrative flaw of losing one of its central characters before the end without a proper send-off.
w: Tommy Lee Jones, Kieran Fitzgerald, Wesley A. Oliver, from the novel by Glendon Swarthout
d: Tommy Lee Jones
s: Hilary Swank, Tommy Lee Jones, John Lithgow, Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter, William Fichtner, James Spader, Meryl Streep.
