(There may be SPOILERS within.)
I thought this movie was a rather touching story at times, and it was not dull and boring. It was very well acted on behalf of all the actors. The problems that I have with this movie is that I feel they didn't give us a better idea of the relationships between the characters, like, why would Walker want to go off west with Pearl and her children? Was there something more between them than just sex that was not written in the script, or possibly ended up on the cutting room floor? And why did I get the feeling most of the time that Pearl didn't really love her husband all that much? They didn't give us details on their relationship, they inform us that they were married very young when she got pregnant, but do they love each other? I think they should have cut all the pointless scenes with Pearl's daughter and her boyfriend and explained to us more what was going on between Pearl/Marty and Pearl/Walker.
Besides the plot holes that I thought the script had, this movie was okay. It keeps one entertained (Or at least it kept me entertained,) and it was touching at the end. But I do not think I can really get over the unexplained relationships, I think the relationships between characters are very important in a movie, and this one failed to deliver.
All in all, I think I would rate this movie 7/10. Maybe I am giving it more than I should, but it was well acted.
