It was filmed in 2016. Set in the Wild West. It is really a messed up movie but you have to consider how men were raised to view women then and the fact that women had nowhere to go- they were raised to obey their husband, but the film was very well done. Dakota Fanning plays the lead, and she cannot talk in the film, so her acting was all facial and in the eyes... What I wrote is from the viewpoint of the extremely mentally ill abuser... He thought it was OK to beat his wife. His mind told him it was the right thing to do...
