Entertainment Reviews:
The film offers a landscape to match the emotional isolation; this land is as empty and lonely and unforgiving as it is lovely.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Parts of The Homesman are a slog to sit through, but the movie ends on a note of absurd comedy that also breaks your heart, suggesting that some people, no matter the circumstances, are incapable of change.
Miami Herald
Tommy Lee Jones’ THE HOMESMAN is a stark and beautiful and bleak portrait of life in the Midwest in the 1850s.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A defiant rejection of genre cliché with a resonance that is hard to shake.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] film that puts a fresh, female spin on the western....Swank’s performance is every bit as potent as her Oscar-winning turns, but it’s Jones who takes top honours, as a rascal who finds a spark of decency within.
Total Film
Hilary Swank gives a particularly good central performance -- but the end result is a real curate's egg: too much at times, underdeveloped at others and marred by a huge plot twist that stops the story almost in its tracks.

The Mail on Sunday (UK)
3 stars out of 4 -- Jones and Swank, walking the tightrope between comic and tragic, ignite combustibly.

Product Description:
A strong-willed woman recruits a loathsome drifter to help transport three insane women across the unforgiving Nebraska Territories so that they may find sanctuary with a compassionate minister and his wife in this drama directed and co-written by Tommy Lee Jones. Driven to madness by the harsh realities of pioneer life, three women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, and Sonja Richter) living on the outskirts of the American frontier are rescued from certain death by pious Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank), who selflessly takes on the task of transporting them to safety. Along the way, Mary Bee encounters a low-life named George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones) with his head in a noose. In exchange for helping her transport the women, Mary Bee frees the scruffy stranger, and together the group heads east. In the course of their arduous journey, however, they will encounter ruthless bandits and vengeful Native Americans. Meanwhile, the greatest test to their resolve may be the harsh winter that's blowing in fast. Meryl Streep, John Lithgow, Hailee Steinfeld, William Fichtner, Tim Blake Nelson, and James Spader co-star.
