Leave your thoughts about Woman Walks Ahead.
| Culture TripGraham FullerWhite's atmospherically directed drama is a worthy addition to films that address the US Government's illegal seizure of Native American lands-and its genocidal policies. |
| PopMattersKatherine MurrayThe real issue, though, is that it confuses different types of oppression, and seems to propose that people who've experienced misogyny are uniquely qualified to understand racism and vice versa. |
| RogerEbert.comTina HassanniaWoman Walks Ahead remains stagnant as a politically correct but enervating historical drama. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthIt’s the kind of smoothly rounded, edgeless historical drama that’s built for maximum appeal, with a broad perspective and an easy to digest tone. Well-crafted and ably told, this is a film that’s wholly respectable though not particularly memorable, but still manages to connect with its earnest good intentions and desire to please. |
| ObserverRex ReedStrongly acted, beautifully shot and sincerely aimed at clearing up some of the misconceptions about the Old West that have been passed off as history by Hollywood movies. |
| IGN MoviesKenneth Seward Jr.Woman Walks Ahead has some narrative issues but is ultimately a well-acted biographical drama. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA portal into the Western frontier revealing the prevalence of racism and sexism. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattWoman could use some of the quieter character nuance of a movie like last year’s "Wind River," another fact-based drama that reflected the struggle of indigenous people with a sensitive, unvarnished kind of naturalism; White’s well-meant version is undoubtedly incomplete, and gilded with a certain amount of Hollywood silliness. |
| Film InquiryDavid FontanaThough based on an empowering story, and containing two fine performances by both Michael Greyeyes and Jessica Chastain, its choppy pacing, unimposing cinematography, and underdeveloped characters make it an unfortunately forgettable endeavor. |
| Village VoiceJason BaileySteven Knight's script veers dangerously close to white-savior territory, but the complexity of the native characters is commendable, and the performances are first-rate. |
