Critics Consensus

Earnestly dedicated to the women depicted on screen, East of Wall displays the grit and grind of living life as it comes in the Badlands while never muddying its subjects.

... mother and daughter Zimiga are real finds, true-to-themselves keepers of a heartland tradition, and fresh faces getting to tell that story in a nontraditional form.

It’s a generous production, one that lovingly offers meaningful moments to every member of the cast, even the actors with only one scene.

One Guy's Opinion

A small film with some large issues on its mind, and its commingling of truth and fiction, while at times a bit clumsy, carries real resonance.

Rated: B-

Culture Mix

East of Wall is a quietly impressive 'slice of life' semi-biographical drama about the struggles of a widow to keep her ranch in business and her family intact. Some viewers will think the movie is too slow-paced, but the performances have real grit.

The horse and cinematography of horses running were just another addition to the movie. Very heartfelt and the movie stays grounded and focuses on priorities the importance family beliefs. Emotional roller coaster that rewards you in the end with a satisfying conclusion

Incredible acting, especially for what is essentially a documentary. Cinematography and music exquisitely set the mood.

Some good photography and as a snapshot it excelled... but as a movie kind of tedious.
