Film Review: Feminism Humbles Tommy Lee Jones in Heartfelt Western ‘The Homesman’
Submitted by NickHC on November 22, 2014 - 7:54pmCHICAGO – In Tommy Lee Jones’ passion project “The Homesman,” the wild west provides a vivid setting for a battle in man’s endless war against women, as the film firmly occupying a genre strictly known for cowboys and pioneer machismo. It’s a sorrowful western from actor/writer/director Jones that often shines in its twilight, hoping to slightly reconcile the maltreatment unleashed on half of the world’s most powerful species.
