True Grit

SagesRain shared a tip "It was funier than I expected it to be, but the whole movie feels like a nothingburger. I've never seen a western before though, so maybe that's just me not understanding the genre."

tyler_marciano shared a tip "One of my all time favorite movies. I love the book as well. I have seen it countless times. The chemistry between Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld is out of this world. Also the narration of the film is comforting in a way, it brings the film together."

wahsatch_outdoors shared a tip "Hated it the first time. Watched the original, came back, and it made more sense. I feel as if this version was made to be as close to the original as possible. It almost feels cheesy, but when you watch the original it makes sense."

sofiai shared a tip "This movie was very different from anything I have ever seen. It was kinda slow and the ending was not all that satisfying but I think that was the point. It was really interesting."

sean_green_7753 shared a tip "4/5. I'm not huge on westerns, but when I get the itch to watch one, this and Appaloosa are my go-to. Really I don't have nuch to say, the cinematography is great, the acting is great, the score is great. But it does kind of drag on for me, there are moments that I come across that I tend to want to fast forward a bit."

jakob_toews shared a tip "Great comedic scenes between Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon as well as great acting all around, especially from a 14 year old Hailee Steinfeld."

alan_richardson shared a tip "If you watch this movie what stands out tk me is the formality of the dialog, so foreign to our way of communicating these days. I had years earlier read the novel which was the basis of not this script and that of the John Wayne original. The originalbTrue Grit had marked differences in the character development among the three and the formality of speech was a little toned down but still present. Matties character was more courageous and assertive in this version and just vexing. Read the book"

alan_richardson shared a tip "To answer the question I say no, none like it because of the peculiarity of Portis's handling if the language. It just changed the whole movie. "That's bold talk for a one-eyed fat man." No, not even the original is like it."
