Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

fredgfinklemeyer 08/16/2018 I suggest that you read the wiki bio of Josephine Monaghan and look at the images before watching this movie. It will make a difference if you do. The movie is perfection and the fact that it's based on a true to life woman makes it all the more special. I loved it and believe that you will too. Keep in mind that this is not a biography so the writer and director have creator license to alter the storyline or any other fact that they see fit. Bon Appetit

ktovornik I saw this movie years ago on the Lifetime channel. I just happened upon it and decided to watch. I thought it was so well done and thoughtful. I have looked for this movie since then and it has never been shown again. I absolutely loved it and am so glad that I can now watch it online or even own it! So worth watching...you will have empathy for the characters. The ending is the most memorable...just great!! What makes it even better is that it's a true story. Yes, I'm sure some of it is embellished, but the fact that she lived as a man and no one noticed? Incredible! This movie is for all ages...a good family movie.

anita-18 Highly recommended. If you're looking for an inspiring film about an inspiring woman, check it out.

Outi I've been waiting to see this film ever since it premiered in 1993, but only a couple of days ago I finally got a chance to see it on TV. It was well worth the wait, although I would have loved to have seen it on big screen instead. First of all, Suzy Amis who I think has repeatedly been miscast and generally far too unappreciated as an actress does a brilliant, intuitive job in the lead role. Her transformation from Josephine to Jo is touching and believable, and her performance all through the film maintains the very same characteristics. She avoids the trap of being a mere male imitation and instead builds her own tough concept of what constitutes a true man of honor living in the middle of the rough wilderness. Director Greenwald lets her story flow beautifully in its own calm pace; she makes Jo's expressive face the very core of this remarkable film - that's where all starts and, finally, ends. Film's gorgeous landscapes and panorama may take your breath away as well, but it's really the director's ability to understand Jo Monaghan's incredible life story that makes The Ballad of Little Jo such a magnificent experience.
