This picaresque tale dawdles a bit, but Chastain keeps us rooting for Jolene's survival.

Top CriticWhile its lumpy story drags long before its running time is up, the film serves as the perfect showcase for new star Jessica Chastain, a dazzling redhead whose talent and radiance keeps its many parts watchable.

Though stretched to a two-hour run time, Doctorow's socially critical tale is reduced to queasy spectacle.
