Woman Walks Ahead gets some extra mileage out of watchable work from Jessica Chastain and Michael Greyeyes, but uneven pacing and two-dimensional characters undermine their efforts.

As a New York widow who travels to South Dakota in 1889 to paint Sitting Bull, the stellar Jessica Chastain can't save this Hollywoodized frontier biopic from grave historical inaccuracy. Jun 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The good intentions it carries out to the plains don't make up for the tentative falseness at its center, a hero who could herself benefit from a portraitist's clear vision. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review…

It's all ridiculously romanticized and self-serving. But the performances are so good and Michael Eley's vistas, shimmeringly shot in New Mexico, are so stunning, it feels churlish to resist Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review…

But if it doesn't exactly feel revelatory or deeply explored as a historical document, it's still an intriguing story, capably told. Jun 27, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

A strong film made from a weak premise that it cannot overcome, no matter how powerful the pedigree behind and in front of the camera. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's a would-be prestige picture that aims for something higher and misses. Oct 29, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

An ideal role for Chastain, luminous in radiating both Weldon's ferocity and unadorned admiration of Sitting Bull, who is played with gravitas but also an ingratiating lack of pretense that makes the burgeoning friendship between the two feel authentic. Oct 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Woman Walks Ahead doesn't accomplish all that it could, but it's far from a bad film, or even a mediocre one. It avoids over-romanticizing the American West, even as it trades on romance. Sep 11, 2018 | Full Review…

Jessica Chastain and Michael Greyeyes are perfect for their roles, as is the entire supporting cast. Add in great cinematography and musical score and you have a very entertaining film. Jul 21, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…
