THE HOMESMAN

January 9 – 15

The Homesman

The Homesman is a cinematic western that follows a group of women forced to travel across the wild frontier. Hilary Swank plays Marry Bee Cuddy: industrious and unmarried, she drives a mule team and tends a farm on the barren plain. When she happens upon an opportunity to make some cash she goes for it, even if it calls for transporting three local women to an insane asylum in a distant city. Along the way, Mary Bee meets up with Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones), who is as desperate for salvation as he is for his next drink. Together they make the long harsh trek across the barren landscape on a journey that is frustrating, adventurous, and finally redemptive. A.O. Scott of The NY Times says, “The Homesman is both a captivating western and a meticulous, devastating feminist critique of the genre.”
