True Grit

Directed by the Coen Brothers, True Grit is a stark Western about Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old farm girl who hires grizzled U.S. Marshal Reuben J. 'Rooster' Cogburn to track down and kill the man responsible for her father’s murder. Jessica Chastain, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jeff Bridges lead a cast that navigates the unforgiving terrain of 1870s Arkansas, where justice is as elusive as it is brutal. The film is a relentless, morally ambiguous tale of vengeance and the cost of growing up in a world without clear heroes or villains.
