    There is no doubt that Newton is a man worthy of respect, and Matthew McConaughey's expressive performance is also worthy of praise. However, no matter what, it can't hide the weakness and lack of tension of the film. As a film with a length of 139 minutes, the rhythm is too...

    Not that bad, not that good, the relationship between the two generations? What is the director trying to express? I still don't get it at all! There are so many things to explain, so the whole plot seems very...

    I don't mind the dullness of this film, I prefer this documentary-style narrative to the legendary rendering. But the supporting roles are too flat, and the protagonist alone is not enough to support the whole...

    During the Civil War, Newton Knight defected from the Southern Army and returned to his hometown. In order to avoid capture, he ran to a swamp and settled down in a swamp. From then...

    "Anti-traditional" war films with protracted plots

    The 39-minute film length is a bit slow, but on the whole, leaving aside the part of promoting justice and morality, this film is better in that it handles the ugly historical facts in a very proper way, but it does not make people. I feel that it weakens or dilutes the seriousness of historical...

Free State of Jones quotes

  • Jasper Collins: You know they shoot deserters, don't you?

    Newton Knight: Hell, they shoot everybody around here anyway. It don't seem to make no difference where the bullet comes from.
