This was an uneven film and several scenes seemed just fill in the time (James Spader and Meryl Streep's to name two). A little disappointing as it would have seemed more appropriate to understand why Hilary Swank's character ended up as a single woman farming a large spread in Nebraska. Since this is a film supposedly visiting a number of themes, it falls short on all of them, unfortunately.

Lee Jones' a Westerner at heart. Btw, the plot of this movie also reminds me of Kelly Reichardt's slow-burner Western starring Michelle Williams and Zoe Kazan, Meek's Cutoff.
