Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

fredjmuggs Young housewife in the mid-1800's heads west with her husband who decides to leave the safety of their wagon train to strike out cross country alone. Wow is THAT dumb. Even dumber, he gets himself killed. He wasn't the only dummy - the Indians who killed him don't bother to look for any valuables in the wagon (where the wife is hiding under a blanket) - This story so out of touch with the times. Then the young wife is completely lost doing the simplest things that anyone in the nineteenth century would have had no trouble with - like using a flint and steel to start a cooking fire. I couldn't watch any more of this nonsense and deleted it from my Kindle.

Why wouldn't she just put everything into the big cloth and carry it instead of carrying a heavy box? 4. It never looked like a trail..what kind of trail would be in the middle of a forest? And did that big pot really fit into the stupid wooden box? And on and on. Sure it was a fantasy but a very annoying one. To be a worthwhile fantasy there needs to be some semblance of practicality. Perhaps a warning would have bee appropriate here...something like adults beware, only very young girls who like dreamlike movies will enjoy.

your mother I tell you what I saw: 90 minutes of pure depression. I'm giving the no spoilers version so people can be properly warned BEFORE they watch. The movie was ill-conceived and had me asking "what?" and "why did she do that?" throughout. Then there were the camera shots of her looking around. I never did see what she saw. I also disliked how the story was moved along perhaps a dozen times by the following sequence: a closeup of the girl, a slight change in facial expression and then the music starts. Viewers are left guessing as to what she's looking at or thinking or heard, etc, so many times that I just gave up. There was little to no character development and the climax was like a little mosquito bite right at the end of your toe. Too little too late, not mention annoying! I never connected with any character and was a bit confused as to why she didn't just decide differently again and again. I'm so angry right now that I signed up for am IMDb account just to give this a poor review. I would also like to mention that the religious undertones are just out of place and actually helped to misguide a lot of the movie. Where the writer probably intended these mentions of God or religion to be what kept her going, I saw that her blind faith had caused her to neglect certain common sense truths of the world and of survival, which made her decisions nonsensical and actually hurt the story. Goodnight.

joycecarrera2002 This is the dullest movie I've ever seen. I kept waiting for some action, some plot, something to keep my interest. What a complete waste of time. The 5 minutes with the stupid music thinking someone was out in the woods and...thennnn.. it was a raccoon???? Really? Worst movie I've ever seen... The fact that this woman can't even light a fire, can't feed herself.,How in heaven's name was she supposed to move out west. You know they had to at least know that in those times unless you were wealthy with servants. So unrealistic. They keep wanting me to write more... I don't have anything else to say about this movie. I want to save anyone from wasting their time on this. Can this be enough text..?
