Mind you, I love US Civil War movies, I guess I have seen them all and devoured tons of books, so each new entry is a welcoming sign to me, but this one flopped most miserably and made me yawn, scratch my head in utter disbelief and question myself - what the heck have I just seen and why on earth have I wasted so much time perusing this awful, slow, mind-numbing, thoughts-killing, time-wasting monster of a lowest and slowest tempo ever conceived by a filmmaker. Wait, isn't that about Civil War? Nope, in fact, more of a gloomy thriller about women survival in their fight against evil Union pillagers. It is well shot, the nature is hauntingly mesmerizing in the Deep South, but sulk, slow tempo and shockingly predictable plot kills all the good things in the bud, covering all with the utmost pathos and familiar twists. The dialogs? Ah, almost none, more of weeping, stairs screeching, gun shooting and faces pulling. Dud, duh, pass it by
