The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I cried, I laughed, I was surprised and my heart screamed YES! in support of the heroine. What more could you want from a movie? How about gorgeous cinematography, a fabulous cast/crew and Director, and a script that gives you a great story with believable characters and a challenging and timely topic. Wrap it all in a Western with detailed authenticity and you get this fantastic film. I saw it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time. This sometimes gritty, sometimes soft and subtle film is one I will revisit again for sure. I anticipate seeing more female empowerment Westerns who will take their cues from Painted Woman in the future. Great film!

This western is really great and the cast couldn't have been picked any better! Excellent direction by James Cotten. Everyone that sees this movie will be cheering on Julie. One of my favorites, and I'd watch it all over again. If you love westerns, this is a must see! Thanks for making this western film, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Riveting performances by a great cast, and great direction by James Cotten. I highly recommend this movie! Love the ending! OMG! :)

I was overwhelmed with this story. There was a true sense of pain felt for the main character. The acting and directing in this was superb. All of the emotions were genuine yet nothing was contrived. If you like a great story arc then this film is for you. The payoff was amazing and truly satisfying. (Also, my favorite character is Chato. You will see why.)
