Pete Campbell Fantastic movie, full of period authenticity which reminded me in tone of the masterpiece The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford.Not sure what all the focus on the 'revisionist' female lead characters is all about? It might be churlish to call this 'Gone with the Wind with gore' but it's hardly edgy casting to portray strong female characters in any realistic portrayal of those left at home during the American Civil War. The entire movie is basically an extended version of a scenario portrayed in that 30's classic.All the actors distinguish themselves including a memorable cameo by a barely recognisable former Emmerdale regular.The only quibble would be the idiotic movie staple of knocking out your main adversary and then wandering off without either finishing the job, tying him up or even disarming the man! Really!?Anyway, that quibble aside, Brutal, Brilliant and Haunting.Highly recommended.

denis888 Mind you, I love US Civil War movies, I guess I have seen them all and devoured tons of books, so each new entry is a welcoming sign to me, but this one flopped most miserably and made me yawn, scratch my head in utter disbelief and question myself - what the heck have I just seen and why on earth have I wasted so much time perusing this awful, slow, mind-numbing, thoughts-killing, time-wasting monster of a lowest and slowest tempo ever conceived by a filmmaker. Wait, isn't that about Civil War? Nope, in fact, more of a gloomy thriller about women survival in their fight against evil Union pillagers. It is well shot, the nature is hauntingly mesmerizing in the Deep South, but sulk, slow tempo and shockingly predictable plot kills all the good things in the bud, covering all with the utmost pathos and familiar twists. The dialogs? Ah, almost none, more of weeping, stairs screeching, gun shooting and faces pulling. Dud, duh, pass it by

Andres-Camara The truth is that the movie starts very hard. It can not be denied. It presents some characters very well in a moment. Then it starts to get worse. It starts to stop and at the end it becomes long.The film is a defense of American values and self-defense, but then retracts to criticize it and later retracts again on the retracted. I do not know where I'm going. Nor do I understand why it is necessary to ignite that fire and destroy things.I really like actors. They are all very well, those who are not yet known, will become so.The photograph is typical independent, does not exist. It's white.And its direction, although it does not bore, is not a special address either. Simple and simple It is very well set. So much in costume, makeup, art.However I do not think it's a movie that goes down in history.Spoiler: I do not understand the sequence when he kills Sam. Why is there such a dialogue? Would someone talk at that time?

Brianna Pino I like this movie and i'm surprised some feel differently towards it. It was cool to see the war coming from a woman's perspective and show the horrors of the woman trying to defend their home and themselves. It showed how at the end of the Civil War that it was violent and it also showed women didn't have much respect. We noticed that it showed not only the woman's perspective but the man's as well. Many could say they view this movie differently but I viewed it as showing how strong women were in this time period and to show the destruction the Civil War caused.I personally recommend this movie for learning purposes as well as to get an insight on the different perspectives of the Civil War.
