Skylar R.

Jolene is a fantastic movie wonderfully acted and mesmerizing in its story line. Jessica Chastain is nothing short of amazing in capturing the role of a woman who can't be defeated. Highly recommend this movie.

Excellent movie except for the ending. It just stops, mid-story with no resolution of anything.
