Matte, flat western that gently ripples on, without highs and/or lows. It's all well put together and Hanks does his best as always, but the script is on the skimpy side and there really isn't anything in the film that we haven't seen before and especially better in comparable westerns. Not a punishment to watch, but in the end, unfortunately, this never rises above mediocrity.

This film gave me a very pleasant feeling afterwards, despite the fact that this western road movie was quite predictable. The images of Texas in the year 1870 looked very beautiful, it was clear that the wounds of the Texans from the lost war against the Northern States were still fresh. That sometimes brought the necessary tension in this pretty good western. Still, this film would not have scored higher for me than a 3.5 if I hadn't been so charmed by Helena Zengel's excellent acting in the role of Johanna. Despite the predictability, I found the ending especially heartwarming.
4.0*

Beautiful movie. Don't expect too much action, but the status of a drama is enough here. Superb acting by Tom Hanks and the little German actress Helana Zengel. We will be hearing more about that in the future. Nice camera work, good music and the right atmosphere. Long but well worth it.
