I've REALLY enjoyed this movie & the stunning storyline (I confess that they could've worked in some aspects better, but overall it was great). I would like to point out that Dakota Fanning's performance was sensational,[spoiler] even, for the most part, relying solely on her facial and body expressions[/spoiler]. The film is heavy and will probably take your breath away, but it shows explicitly how the reproduction of what was written in the Bible can be manipulated and used so easily by men with intent to rebuke women. For me, Guy Pearce's character shouldn't be so privileged to appear prominently in posters and reviews. Dakota's character is the true star of this movie, which shows how a woman can be brave and strong to endure so much pain and suffering and still keep fighting - and this was beautifully reproduced by Fanning and Jones. I was also blown away by the cinematography & the structure it was decided to be presented the storyline. Simply well made.

This was vividly beautiful and at times brutal, while remaining true to its 'canonical' heritage. Performances were excellent esp. Guy Pierce and Dakota Fanning. It begins like a historical drama about a family of new settlers struggling with their life in the colonial American West, then as it continues to unfold we realise the story is not all it seems, it is a visionary retelling of Genesis 3, original sin, and the purgatory nature of the life that followed. This was one of the best psychological thrillers in years, a fresh original screenplay and it's a raw perspective of the supposedly 'compassionate' Abrahamic God.

Savage and grim, and all the better for it. I read a review on the film which said "a film to be endured and not entertained by." Does every film need to be entertaining? Should there have been a musical number to bring levity to this harsh tale? No, of course not, and while this film doesn't entertain par se, it does provide a gripping story, in a land where good people are hard to come by.

What a vile little film! I'm aware that in the American Wild West men abused little girls, assaulted women, and raped their infant daughters but I don't want to participate in it for well over 2 hours.

A congregation dressed in black, hymns being sung flatly, an evil preacher, an abortion scene in the first 15 minutes...
I should have known from the title that it wasn't the good western that the cover image conveyed. I could not make it through 20 minutes before I had to shut it off.

It's a m More

**A good Western, despite its weaknesses.**

Many decades ago, Italian Western films were a huge success and guaranteed the careers of several actors, such as Clint Eastwood, and directors like Sergio Leone. This film, however, is neither Italian nor American: despite being spoken in English and f More

**The trouble that had never let her alone.**

A story about America, Hollywood cast, but produced and directed by outsiders. A powerful film. Kind of mix of 'No Country for Old Man' and 'Les Miserables'. The narration divided into four parts. The first episode called Revelation. An introduction l More
