“Mildred Pierce unleashed on the wild, wild West…”

“A weird one.”

“…has a bit of fizz, if not quite as much as we might want.”

“…both exquisite cinema and an incredible act of grace.”

“…ascetic, poetic, and prophetic.”

“For those who have had a rough go raising kids, Tully might require a trigger warning.”

“…simultaneously evokes and deflates our image of the iconic American West.”

“A moving, somber, and occasionally brutal inversion of the Black Beauty narrative…”

“…a harrowing evocation of life as a trauma survivor.”

“…if Some Came Running survives its dated gender politics, that’s all due to MacLaine.”
