Movie Reviews of Heartland
Movie Review: Simple Pleasures of Survival
Summary: 5 Stars
A brilliant and absolutely authentic story about the stark realities of pioneer life in late 1800's Wyoming. "Heartland" is based on a series of letters ("Letters of a Woman Homesteader" by Elinore Pruitt Stewart). The actors are very real, and the story unfolds almost like a documentary. Rip Torn and Conchita Ferrell are superb in mostly just living their everyday lives. However, they perform tasks and "everyday pleasures" considered quite extraordinary by modern standards, especially considering the harsh winter conditions. Excellent photography, and DVD bonus commentary explaining each scene.Movie Review: Snapshot of the REAL West
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're hooked on the romanticized, idealistic frontier stories that are so common, this ain't for you. But if you want to practically feel the bone-chilling cold, the aching muscles and uncertainty of life on the frontier in the early 1900's, I highly recommend this one. The writing, acting, scenery, direction, even the music, are all fantastic. Of course, I didn't live out West in the early 1900's, but I can't imagine a more realistic, dead-on portrayal of what life was really like for those trying to make a life for themselves in a mostly unsettled territory. One of my all-time favorites.Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Heartland is a great representation of life on the frontier on the early 20th century. This is a picture of what life was really like and is based on the real lives of real people. It is just wonderful, and I wanted it to go on so that I could still follow these people as they face the day to day challenges of living on the frontier. Conchatta Ferrell and Rip Torn are just wonderful in this movie. You forget they are acting and just accept them as the real thing. I reccomend this to all ages.Movie Review: Finally
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe that this movie is finally available. I loved this movie so much, I found a used PAL video in England (over the internet), bought it and then took it to a video place and had it transfered to NTSC format. This is a terrific movie. Conchata Ferrell is brillant. A wonderful actress, she rarely gets a role that is worthy of her (anyone out there know if the TV series Hot l Baltimore is going to be transferred to video?). But this movie. Watch it. Share it.Movie Review: HEARTLAND
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like realistic down to earth movies that are based on something that actually
happened then this is the movie for you. Rip Torn and Conchata Ferrell give perfect
performances and put you in a place where you can almost be with them in their struggles
to live their lives homesteading. You will get tired, dirty, hungry, and cold living
on the prairie with these people. A definate A+ for Heartland.
