This is really good.Described by the director as Unforgiven with sewing machines and with Hugo Weaving and Judy Davies giving superb performances it's a cracking film.If you like Westerns this is a really good one.

Saw 'I,Tonya' yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it and it certainly sheds a different light on Tonya Harding. The music is great also.
