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 steve d Often uncomfortable and melodramatic. Jessica Chastain is the lone bright spot showing signs of the star she will become. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Only watched cause gave 3 stars out 4 on tv and it had a young Jessica (thing for hot red heads, lol). The acting was good said it followed book (didn't read it) but Jessica did go to Juliard so not a shock at her acting and Chaz is from my family Bronx neighborhood. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those rare movies that gets better and better the longer you watch. My first thought was "What a life she's had!", but not all of her life was good. She made some really bad choices and they changed her life in dramatic ways. At first I thought she was really naive for the choices she made, but after a while I began to feel sorry for her. Great performances by everyone and the scenes of Vegas and the Southwest were beautiful. When the screen went black and the credits began to roll, I was disappointed because I wanted more. Jolene is an amazing woman-and this is an amazing movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member What did we learn? Get to know someone real well before you commit. Jolene marrys too young, has a relationship with a child molester, gets involed with a married man, marries a mobster who gets killed, and then some psycho rich guy who throat punches the "love of my life."Her best times were when she was on her own. Great acting by Chastain. My question is what's the point of the movie? Seems like it's get decieved by guys who say they love you and promise the world and then get sad. OK, no thanks Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 5 phases of Jolene’s life. From a poor uneducated southern 15 year old, later sexually abused by a him and her. To a refined ....this and that. Always getting abused, and on a bus to the next phase of her talented life. I’m glad this film has had success at Film Festivals Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/19 Full Review Read all reviews
