True Women Reviews

This one is a must see!
This is not a film for everyone. Although it can be considered a family film, the many scenes of violence (and a couple of sexual ones), make it viewing for a more mature audience. Recommended for ages 12 (14 for boys), and older. Descretion advised.
The overall production is superb. As is the acting. I watched all 3 hours of it, straight thru. It was entirely enthralling.
Historically enlightening, the film shows how rugged the pioneer women of Texas were. They were more than tough, they were superwomen.
A sweeping epic that encompasses a generation of 3 Texas pioneer familes, it adeptly shows the inside look at the Muscogee Creek 'Trail of Tears' (from Georgia), the War with Mexico, the defense against vindictive Commanche, and the homefront battles during the Civil War. All from the women's perspective. Relating their sacrifices, friendships and family life, as they strive to survive some of the most grueling times, of the early years of Texas.
Angelina Jolie and Annbeth Gish both show their broad range as actors, but i think it was the character of Dana Delaney that was the anchor of the film. Although she smokes a pipe like a man, she is reserved & resourceful...and although tender as a wife, mother and sister, yet she's as tough as nails when it comes to defending her loved-ones. Willing to sacrifice her own life in doing so. I loved that about her.
This film accurately portrays what pioneers were really like. Real women and real men...they sure don't make 'em like that anymore.
This one is a must see!
