The Painted Woman is unlike any Western I have ever seen. This film incurs every emotion. I laughed and cried, cheered and screamed. It is both beautiful and tragic, hopeless and uplifting. There is nothing predictable about this movie. It has so many twists and turns that it will keep you guessing until the very end. The woman being the heroine is also a fresh take on this genre of film. Loved this movie and will definitely watch it again!
