Megan e Surprising film with excellent performances! "it's damn hard being brave". 5 stars Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Ashley H Woman Walks Ahead is a decent film. It is about a portrait painter from 1890s Brooklyn who travels to Dakota to paint a portrait of Sitting Bull. Jessica Chastain and Louise Krause give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Susanna White did alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and history. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this movie and the story it told about painter Catherine Weldon among the Sioux Indians and Sitting Bull leading up to the Massacre of Wounded Knee which to this day is a black mark on the history books for the American Cavalry. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An touching drama based on historical events with a skilled cast and inspiring locations. Although I was disappointed to see New Mexico as a stand-in for North Dakota. I would recommend and tire of reading comments from "Top Critics" who criticize fictional dramas based on historical characters as if they were non-fiction biographies. This is not a documentary. In this time of Covid, maybe I like a hint of romance mixed with history. I may not be a "Top Critic", but I have been watching films for over 50 years. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review debie k Entertaining. Well acted. Good cinematography. Slow paced, decent script that does have several historical inaccuracies, but also portrays some informative historical facts on the 1887 Dawes Act, the treatment of the Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux and their leader Sitting Bull, and the unrest in the Dakota Territory. Not sure why it has the R rating, no blatant nudity or language with 2 mildly violent scenes. If you watch, not for historical accuracy, but purely for entertainment value, this is a compelling and enjoyable movie IMHO! (to get the historically accurate info, I suggest looking up Sitting Bull and Catherine Weldon after watching the film) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting movie about the female artist who painted Sitting Bull and the respect and understanding that developed between people who were from two completely different worlds. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
