    7.1. "Return to civilization. The woman who crossed the frontier. Back to Iowa. The journey back to love." Every translation fails to get to the bottom of it. Another Western, but with the good and the bad toned down. There are still foreigners and locals in the story. It's just turning the bad guys from outside into the mentally ill. The point of the film is not to give people away, but to give them away. The soundtrack is...

    The heroine is the most tragic, but her pain does not come from herself, and there is no kindness in the...

    Very moved. Landscape level photography. It is more calm and sad than "Three Funerals", and it moves people's hearts. It's not easy for Mr. Jones to be rooted in the West to shoot road movies with a stubborn temper. Marco Beltrami's score is very...

    In a western story opened from a female perspective, women who are strong on the outside and soft on the inside are well-founded, and this sudden death not only changes the perspective of the film, but also sublimates the overall tension of the female character to a certain extent. And the profound influence on the whole words and deeds of men, the outward fortitude cannot save the inner fragility after all. The story is not limited to the twists and turns of the journey, the scenery and...

    The whole movie is easily reminiscent of Kelly Recha's "Mick's Shortcut". Although it is not as shocking as it is, the movie is quite sadistic, looking at a desolate, hopeless, endless, rape, screaming The crying and the child being thrown into the toilet are all unpleasant, and with the slow pace of the film, the anxiety and despair are even more intense. Hilary Swank's acting is really good, but I prefer the soundtrack and photography of this film, which is very...

    Except for some editing and rhythm problems, the overall is OK. The story is very clueless, and it gets better after 40 minutes... The temperament is good, but I still feel that there is something lacking = = A great female character, Mr. Xi was confirmed by typecast... Beaver is too beautiful, and it pulls me back after appearing on the scene Big Lei era, I miss it so much...

    Another sentimental film, sentiments trump everything else. It's not very deep, and it's not out of shape, but the whole thing is quite beautiful. The heroine is actually a bit inexplicable, but it feels like a portrayal of contemporary older leftover women, and some of the plots are a bit dramatic. The ending scene is so...

    The heroine actually committed suicide. Can't she just hit a woman like this if she can't get married?...

    I thought it was a rare Western movie with a female perspective, but heroine died inexplicably on the way. Old Tommy seems to have added all sorts of loose plots to the road westerns at will, making the pacing of the script seem odd. Fortunately, the photography and soundtrack saved a little bit of...
