She is fantastic in this film about an unmotivated woman who gets tossed from her family home and then starts a conflict with the new owners because she feels they have unlawfully taken her home from her.
She befriends a deputy who decides to assist her in harassing the new owners until their conflict comes to a head.
Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo are also very good as the new homeowners who just want to be left alone.
The tense final half of the film is well worth the slightly slow moving first act.
Highly recommended.

This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.
