Keeping Room, The (15)

Drama, Western

Left without men in the dying days of the American Civil War, three women must fight to defend their home and themselves from two rogue soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.

The critical consensus

Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld protect their homestead in a wonderful feminist western.

(*) Nikki Baughan, The List, 13/06/2016

This beautifully photographed film is a slow burner about two sisters who come into traumatic conflict with two renegade Union soldiers.

(*) (*) Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 16/06/2016

A handsomely crafted, slowburning tale that tries a little too hard to place its political themes at the forefront of the action.

(*) (*) Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 17/06/2016

Brit director Daniel Barber brings thrills and feminism to this American civil war yarn.

(*) Wendy Ide, The Observer, 19/06/2016
