If you loved City of Joy, try The Homesman
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to City of Joy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Homesman is
Nebraska Territories, winter, a covered wagon creaks. Three women unravel, a pious spinster steps in, a low-life drifter is hired. Tommy Lee Jones guides a Western that values character over conquest.
