Audience Reviews

Diane L Disappointed in the storyline, no grief, no empathy, no explanation on why Cuddy killed herself. Nothing but despair and hopelessness. What a whacked out movie. Acting and storytelling just gets worse & worse as years go on. Hollyweird. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Caron T Thank God for Tommy Lee Jones. His scenes were at least watchable. But the rest of the movie is so cringe. A for effort it's difficult subject matter to cover.. but it feels like a miss to me. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review David W It's a beautifully acted western full or interesting characters, beautifully shot landscapes and has an unusual perspective for the genre. It's anchored by two fantastic central performances from Swank and of course from Tommy Lee Jones who also co-wrote and directed. A must see western but it's bleakness and tone may not be for everyone. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review jwcdood It's easy to understand why the critics gave THE HOMESMAN good reviews and the audience didn't. As a movie, it's not the typical fare and it's well done (Tommy Lee Jones is his usual best!). But, entertaining; if you like bleak, cold and brutal with very little redemption? You'll really enjoy this! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Mateusz C it is exactly how a serious western movie would look like if Coen brothers and Tarantino would try to make it together Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Peter P The cinematography, story line, acting, and direction all excelled. There are some surprising turns of events and a clever ending. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Critics Reviews

Jason Bailey Flavorwire If 'The Homesman' proves anything, it's that there's no movie that can't get a shot in the arm from a couple scenes of Tommy Lee Jones hollerin' and dancin'. Jun 7, 2016 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald Parts of The Homesman are a slog to sit through, but the movie ends on a note of absurd comedy that also breaks your heart, suggesting that some people, no matter the circ*mstances, are incapable of change. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 6, 2014 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News If only things had started out on more solid ground and headed toward some sort of resolution. If only. Rated: C Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The Homesman is a beautiful film that brings a rarely seen female (and feminist) perspective to the stories of the Old West. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Muddier than the rough terrain it takes place on. Rated: 2/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Tommy Lee Jones is completely at home in the role of a cantankerous, frank, gruff, and grizzled cowboy. Rated: 6/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
