User Review - 10/10 by Daniel CWhat if Michael Mann made a Western about female empowerment? Writer/director James Cotten brings a lush palette and a meditative, almost prayerful style to this drama/thriller about Julie, a woman looking for a second chance at life on the frontier. Wonderful performances from the entire cast, featuring Stef Dawson in a breakout role as Julie, David Thomas Jenkins, Kiowa Gordon, Matt Dallas and Robert Craighead as memorable Western villains, and a notable standout performance by a force-of-nature Laurel Harris.
User Review - 10/10 by Alice FThis film is beautiful! A moving story about one woman's difficult journey, eventually finding her own strength and power. After Julie's family dies she is forced into a life of prostitution. Unexpectedly she has to leave her circumstances and through this harrowing journey she discovers herself. Each scene is gorgeous. Excellent performances and direction by James Cotten. I highly recommend!
User Review - 10/10 by Meg REspecially in the times we are living - when men are being called out for bad behavior- it is refreshing and meaningful to see a classic Western from the beleaguered woman's point of view. Clearly, life is not easy for any of these characters. There is struggle and darkness on all sides, but director James Cotten shows us a new, creative slant on a tried and true setting - while, at the same time giving the audience everything that has made this traditional American genre so popular. The scenery is spectacular, the acting harnesses true emotion that translate into all levels of sorrow, passion, anger, insecurity, zeal and redemption. In the end, there is a satisfying conclusion to a story that never sugar coats the long and often painful road to self discovery. Painted Woman is a film worth seeing more than once.
User Review - 10/10 by Edgar FThis movie is at an Oscar best performance level
User Review - 10/10 by Kate POld tale, but had a lot of heart. I especially liked the Mustanger, played by David Thomas Jenkins.
User Review - 10/10 by Jenna NI'm surprised that the only published review panned this movie. I thought it was beautiful. I think most Hollywood productions these days are over the top, so it was nice to see something approachable, yet with plenty of action and plot to move the pace along. The only thing that kind of annoyed me is I think that they had an overly utopian view of race relations in the Old West. I have a hard time picturing white settlers kicking up their heels with African-Americans and Native Americans at a wedding. That just does not jive with what I understand of the era. Otherwise, I think that the movie did a great job of portraying brutality towards women, and sex trafficking. So it was much more feminist than "Godless."
