'True Grit'
with Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld et.al.
After her father's killer has taken refuge in a lawless region, a strong-willed teenager (Steinfeld) enlists the help of two very contrastive lawmen (Bridges, Damon) to track him down.
Such a well-crafted, well-acted and beautifully-shot movie with both serious undertones and hilarious situational comedy. Bridges as the cantankerous ageing reprobate is just fun to watch, and I can't believe Steinfeld didn't get an oscar for her perfomance. I'd never thought much of child actors; guess I was wrong.
★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10.
Oi Elizabeth Banks and Tim Miller, I thought men shouldn't be able to enjoy a strong female character. What happened?
