True Grit (2010) Film Review, a movie directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen and starring Hailee Steinfeld, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Barry Pepper.
Dialogue is the centrifuge around which this western and its characters find themselves willful ensnared, traps of their own verbal rendering. The materials for these contraptions were constructed by directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen and the book of the same name on which True Grit is based.
The matriarchal Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) carries herself like an old soul but is an apparition encased in a fourteen year old’s body, much to the vexation of the actual adults she encounters. Steinfeld’s performance, in the way she composes Mattie and the minutiae of her characteristics, give off what her acting pedigree and stature contradict.
Most if not all of characters pause and stare when Mattie speaks verbosely with determination, force, and eloquence.
