QuickView
Story-line: circa 1890, a young woman chooses to build a new life for herself in the West despite the challenges and dangers inherent to such an adventure.
Pluses: impressive acting by Suzy Amis and cast. A different, original film. That haunting song by the McGarrigle sisters.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: don’t expect gunfights and stampedes in this sad and gritty movie. It depicts pioneers, hard workers who settled in hardscrabble regions of America. And since the script is based on true events, Little Jo Monaghan’s story feels even more poignant.
