Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

vob I thought this mini-series based on a true story was earthy and factual. One writer complained of all the deaths... well a lot of deaths were a part of life in that era. All one has to do is visit an old cemetery to realize many lost their children to cholera and other diseases. But it has it's balance of joy and sorrow and it will be thoroughly enjoyed by most.Someone said the movie was a liberal politically correct portrayal. I disagree and I am not a liberal. A liberal could not have researched a movie like this without a rude awakening, to find Republicans were the ones who fought to free the slaves and give women the right to vote, while the "liberals" fought to keep them in bondage. While I know this to be a fact, I appreciate that it did not put a partisan spin into the film, it would have alienated rather than had someone enjoy the movie.I'm also intrigued watching Angelina Jolie, I find her to be a deep actress with a very pleasant countenance and I think this was the most meaningful film she's ever done, though I just recently saw it in 2010 while I believe it had been filmed as a mini series in the 90's. If someone wants to claim it was politically biased, I would say shoveling this film under the rug may have been politically motivated, because it showed not all slave owners were whips-on-blacks monsters that the race baiters tend to rely on. They were human and the masters and slaves often ate at the same table and formed close family like bonds with one another, which happens to be historically correct.Ignore the negative comments, they seem to mostly be by men insecure in their masculinity, taking a bite at something that put emphasis on the woman and her often overlooked role in history.

balletbabi True Women is one of the best movies of all time. I saw it when i was 8 years old, when it first came out on TV i just happened to be flipping the channels and came upon this. I am still rather young, but i do not think i will EVER forget this movie. Great for feminists AND History buffs, like me lol. I am disappointed that this movie is not as well known because it is just extraordinary ad i hope they put it on TV again, since this time i will tape it! Wonderful, wonderful movie, try to get a hold of it if you can.

JamiDanell Not all movies are perfect. This was a perfect chic flick and I absolutely love it! Wish it was out on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched it on Lifetime last summer and just simply couldn't get it out of my head. The realationships and hard times these women have were enough to make me cry!

smothersnena True Women is a very well done film. It is about my own ancestors. Sarah and Euphemia were my ggg grand aunts, being sisters to my ggg grandmother [who was not in the fim]...but she was on the runaway scrape. I was thrilled to view this film, among the tears. I so enjoyed this film of my ancestry history, I flew to Texas to Seguin, where the film was made, and went on the True Women tour. As a young girl I had even lived in Seguin, Tx in the 4-5th grades. I met Mrs. King, Janice Windle's mother, took rolls and rolls of film, but the biggest thrill was walking thru the Peach Creek home of Sarah. I could hear the echoes of my ancestors and I peeped thru the rifle slots and could see Tildie and Sarah hanging by their arms under the trees where the Indians had tied them. I heard the cries of their anquish and felt a tremor thru my body that only a bond of kinship could bring. I did a review on this film in my college Film class and got a 4. for it. I watch this film often as I bought it and the book. I await Janice's sequel, Hill Country, to be also made into a film. An excellent job was done in the making of this true historic and ancestry film of my ancestors. I commend the producers and the actress and actors who portrayed my loved ones from the past. thank you..Nena Smothers
