Little Woods (2018) REVIEW – A Gripping Modern Western With A Feminist Twist
By Andrea Thompson
Of all the surprising benefits to the resurgence in Westerns, one of the best is that they can be for everyone now, not merely for the conflicted white men who have long been the genre’s traditional heroes. In the case of Little Woods, it gives us a female-centric modern Western, written and directed by Nia DaCosta, about two sisters in North Dakota who are forced to turn to less than legal means when they find themselves in dire need.
