Tony Scott Variety The cast is superb and the Kansas and Maine location filmings come off as appropriate to designer Ed Wittstein's locales and assured period representations. Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A good continuation of the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A lack of Walken and an emphasis on Glenn Close. I had no idea this was a sequel. I actually saw this before the first one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice sequel....we wonder what separation might do to Sarah and Jacob as Sarah leaves him in Kansas and returns to her home of Maine... you grow to love this family! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent movie. The ideal sequel to a classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Sarah and the children travel to Maine when the farm is failing due to drought. A whole cast of characters greet Sarah and the children and make them feel welcome. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member We watched this one again last night. A good story about the hardships on the Kansas prairie during the drought. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
