THE HOMESMAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roadside Attractions and Saban Films<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Tommy Lee Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenwriter:\u00a0 Tommy Lee Jones, Kieran Fitzgerald, Wesley A. Oliver, based on Glendon Swarthout\u2019s novel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0 Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, Grace Gummer, Mirando Otto, Sonja Richter,
\nHailee Steinfeld, James Spader, Meryl Streep<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0 Review 1, NYC, 11\/4\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 November 14, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Say what you will about the problems of American aviation\u2014miserable leg room, terrible food (if food is even served), cancellations, bad scheduling, delays\u2014if you were around in 1854 you\u2019d say \u201cWhere is Jet Blue now that we need it (and we\u2019ll accept it with all these problems\u201d)?\u00a0 Folks like George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones), Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank) and fellow travelers Arabella Sours (Grace Gummer), Theoline Belknapp (Miranda Otto) and Gro Svendsen (Sonja Richter), would give anything even for a broken-down Yugo car.\u00a0 They needed to travel from the Nebraska territory to Iowa\u2014and remember that Iowa was right on Nebraska\u2019s border, not a thousand miles away\u2014a journey that took them five weeks to complete on horse-drawn wagon.\u00a0 A flight from Omaha to Des Moines with the obligatory stop along the way would take three and one-half hours.<\/p>\n

Nor did Briggs and Cuddy enjoy a non-stop trip between Nebraska and Iowa.\u00a0 In an episodic drama directed by Tommy Lee Jones and starring him as well, \u201cThe Homesman,\u201d based on Glendon Swarthout\u2019s novel of the same name, the five travelers of varying temperaments were to have more problems with one another than you would have had seated near the middle of a four-across plane trip with two three-hundred pounders on each side of you.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the trip was to transport three women to their original homes, the trio having become psychotic allegedly because of the hard work and dangers faced by settlers who went West to a land five times as large as the present Nebraska state, one inhabited principally by Indians, fur traders and beavers.\u00a0 The land was free, first-come, first-served.\u00a0 You might have eked out an existence farming the land and you had to watch out for Indians, as did the folks on the pilgrimage taken by the four women and one man who set forth to deposit three of their members \u201cback East,\u201d which seems to have meant Iowa, where a clergyman\u2019s wife (Meryl Streep) is willing to take them in the nutcases.<\/p>\n

Hilary Swank anchors the show as Mary Bee Cuddy, a strong, unmarried woman of thirty-one who lives alone in a log cabin, having acquired more land than her neighbors but who has considerable difficulty finding a man to marry.\u00a0 Not that she was choosy.\u00a0 She even proposed to two, but unfortunately for her she was, as one character put it, \u201cAs plain as an old tin can.\u201d\u00a0 Though her minister, Reverend Dowd (John Lithgow), agrees that she is strong enough to undertake they journey, she is desperate for a man to accompany her, which she finds in George Briggs (Jones), receiving from him a promise to be her assistant in return for having his life saved from a hanging for claim jumping.<\/p>\n

As they proceed across the flat western land, they meet a group of Indians who are amendable to bribes, The Freighter (Tim BlakeNelson), a fellow who fights Briggs to the death over one of the crazy women, and the owner of a hotel, Alysius Duffy (James Spader) who denies them rooms despite a full house of vacancies.\u00a0 Aside from Briggs\u2019 melodramatic action in shooting a man in the foot and burning down his hotel with the owner inside the entire time, \u201cThe Homesman\u201d is slow-moving, but stands out not only for its impeccable acting but for its picture of what the West was really like at about the middle of the Nineteenth Century.\u00a0 There are no wild Indian fights with the cavalry coming to the rescue amid blasts of a bugle. This is not the West of Gene Autry, Tom Mix, Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers but instead is one in which character, not mindless action, is studied.\u00a0 For the right audience, meaning for those not insistent on checking their brains at the popcorn stand, \u201cThe Homesman\u201d is as authentic a portrayal of an America before iPhones, cars, phones and electric lights made us so comfortable that we can afford to grouse about an indifferent staff aboad American Airlines.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 122 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
