Woman Walks Ahead Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Susanna White and Jessica Chastain's Woman Walks Ahead is well-meaning but bland, another white savior among natives story.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Susanna White's biographical drama is a little traditional and occasionally a little stiff, but the growing relationship between Weldon and Sitting Bull at its center offers rich emotional rewards.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
As a New York widow who travels to South Dakota in 1889 to paint Sitting Bull, the stellar Jessica Chastain can't save this Hollywoodized frontier biopic from grave historical inaccuracy.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
Weldon and Sitting Bull deserve better. So do we.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
Woman Walks Ahead is too often one step behind in making us care.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... emphasizes melodrama while shortchanging historical context and meaningful insight to supplement its intriguing backdrop.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The good intentions it carries out to the plains don't make up for the tentative falseness at its center, a hero who could herself benefit from a portraitist's clear vision.
Film Journal International
Simi Horwitz
A well-intentioned but ultimately disappointing film that is perhaps afraid of its own subject.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
It's all ridiculously romanticized and self-serving. But the performances are so good and Michael Eley's vistas, shimmeringly shot in New Mexico, are so stunning, it feels churlish to resist
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Inches toward melodrama and dramatic overcrowding, weakening a previously intimate study of curiosity.
Culture Trip
Graham Fuller
White's atmospherically directed drama is a worthy addition to films that address the US Government's illegal seizure of Native American lands-and its genocidal policies.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
But if it doesn't exactly feel revelatory or deeply explored as a historical document, it's still an intriguing story, capably told.
IGN Movies
Kenneth Seward Jr.
Woman Walks Ahead has some narrative issues but is ultimately a well-acted biographical drama.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Woman Walks Ahead sounds like a great idea in theory but the film goes poorly in its execution.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
As a character, Catherine Weldon suffers the same fate as Sitting Bull, having been reduced to a signifier of the filmmakers' retroactive political correctness.
Village Voice
Jason Bailey
Steven Knight's script veers dangerously close to white-savior territory, but the complexity of the native characters is commendable, and the performances are first-rate.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
A listless but lustrously shot biopic...
RogerEbert.com
Tina Hassannia
Woman Walks Ahead remains stagnant as a politically correct but enervating historical drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
Despite the estimable talent on hand both behind and in front of the camera, the story never comes to convincing life and doesn't, in the end, have anywhere particularly surprising or interesting to go.
Variety
Peter Debruge
As white savior stories go, it's still progress to find one that lives up to such a feminist title as this.
