The TVI Take
The Coens' Charles Portis adaptation that takes the novel's prose register, formal nineteenth-century syntax delivered without contraction, as the film's actual stylistic spine. Hailee Steinfeld's Mattie Ross is the rare child-protagonist who is allowed full cognitive autonomy; Jeff Bridges's Rooster Cogburn is Oscar-winning work without being showy.
The 'no man, no woman' coda is what separates the film from John Wayne's 1969 version.
