"Time just gets away from us." Only the Coens. The most authentic western in modern memory, only the Coens could accomplish what they do here and they warrant rewatchability to spare. For one, the Coens are masters of language. Always have been, always will be. The way…

There is nothing quite like revisiting a movie ten years after you first saw it. When I saw this in theaters, as a 22-year-old, I enjoyed it. Watching it now, as a 32-year-old, I get it. Yes, on one level, TRUE GRIT is just a classic western — a good, old-fashioned yarn…

"Well, I guess they was all married men who loved their families as they scattered and run for home." or "Gone the whiskey...seized in evidence." This is such a fine old-fashioned tale that I found myself deliberately declining to think of it in any critical sense. Yes…

7.75/10 Acting was really really good. Jeff Bridges was particularly great along with Hailee Steinfeld. Deals with some serious themes but also has its comedy. Solid movie I’d recommend to just about anyone

Joel and Ethan Coen deliver a masterful and captivating adaptation of Charles Portis's True Grit, offering a more faithful and nuanced take on the classic Western tale than its predecessor. From the opening moments, the film immerses you in the stark beauty and moral complexities of the American…

So many people will be turned away when they hear it’s a remake of an old western, but this movie is so good. The runtime is long but it didn’t feel it. And you can’t get much better dialogue than from a Coenn Brothers movie. This a solid story with really funny insults thrown in

It is quite a feat to out act Matt Damon, but the performance given by Jeff Bridges is something else. While at the beginning it seems no more than a western, by the end you will be shedding a tear. An underrated modern classic by all means and an Oscar snub all around.

i feel like you can tell when jeff bridges chooses to just do the grumpy old man with soft interior schtick instead of like really committing idk…. it was fine but i think im gonna read the book bc it felt like it was missing something imo

8.2/10 The acting in this was fantastic. Steinfeld was a standout at such a young age. Every now and then I just get in the mood for a western and this movie definitely was worth the watch. Now I need to go watch more westerns

Uhh… I came into this expecting MUCH more. It felt like a side quest, and it hardly held my interest. A bad movie is better then a boring movie, and hot damn if this ain’t boring!

I don’t usually watch films like this (I prefer comedies) but this was actually AMAZING and I highly recommend it. I loved Hailee’s character and loved how headstrong she was.

This remake by Joel and Ethan Coen is being positioned as a truer True Grit, and though they take their own liberties with the plot and tone, they preserve Portis's impeccably authentic dialogue, which does more to conjure up the Arkansas of the 1870s than any period trappings.

The best way to approach Joel and Ethan Coen's eagerly awaited True Grit is to lower your expectations, then lower them a bit more. The problem is not the movie, which is a terrific, no-nonsense, straightforward western. The surprise – or vague disappointment – is the prevailing lack of Coen-ness in the movie.
