Reb L Raw, haunting, and unforgettable. Jolene is a deeply affecting film that left a lasting impression on me. Jessica Chastain delivers a stunning performance as Jolene—a young woman whose resilience is tested time and again through a life marked by heartbreak, betrayal, and survival. Her journey is painful to watch at times, but it’s also a testament to the strength of the human spirit. What struck me most was how the film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities Jolene faces. It’s not a fairy tale—it’s a portrait of a woman navigating a world that often fails her. And yet, through every chapter, Jolene keeps moving forward. Her vulnerability and courage made me root for her even when the odds were stacked against her. The cinematography and storytelling are intimate and raw, pulling you into Jolene’s world with every scene. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s a necessary one—especially for those who appreciate stories that reflect the complexities of real life. This movie broke my heart, but it also reminded me of the quiet power of perseverance. Jolene’s story is sad, yes—but it’s also beautiful in its honesty. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Audience Member An excellent movie about a troubled young woman's life. While the relationships that Jolene gets into are extreme (for example she becomes a girlfriend of a rich Mafia guy in Las Vegas and later she becomes the abused wife of a rich jerk in Oklahoma), her story is one that is extremely realistic. I say this because unfortunately, there are far too many people who grow up in foster homes or were abused during their childhoods. Sadly, many of these people never experience much in the way of a real family or in learning how to avoid problematic, manipulative people.

It's too stupid to be taken seriously as a drama, and the only laughs it induces are derisive. It's ignorant, exploitative trash, and it's without a doubt the most embarrassing thing in Jessica Chastain's resume. Thankfully, she partly redeemed herself in her later work. She actually can act, but you wouldn't know it by watching this. I seriously implore viewers, even if you're fans of Chastain, to avoid this. It's little more than soft core porn. It's also an insult to intelligent, independent women everywhere. Men take one look at Jolene, and within 24 hours, they're proposing marriage. Of course, she accepts, only to end up betrayed and abused. Can a woman actually be this dimwitted? Give me a break. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Megan e Chastain's performance in her first movie is very good - 3.5 stars! However the film itself was rather pointless with Chastain's character having very little agency. The story seemed to highlight the objectification of women, but not in a critical way. It's a pass for me. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
