Jolene (Jessica Chastain) is a red-haired wanderer who isn't content to call one place home for any expended stretch of time. Setting off to explore the outside world at age fifteen, the free-spirited teen embarks on a decade-long cross-country of adventure which finds her crossing the paths of everyone from a firebrand Texan (Dermont Mulroney) who steals her heart and destroys her marriage to his wealthy fundamentalist nephew (Michael Vartan), to an ex-mobster (Chazz Palminteri) attempting to make good in Las Vegas. (official distributor synopsis)

I can’t shake the feeling that Jessica Chastain slept her way up to the top of her acting career through the character of the brutally naïve Jolene. I mean, even her voice sounds naïve. It wasn’t awful, but I didn’t really root for her. For the two whole hours, I felt like she was just creating her own problems and I only paid real attention when boobs were on the screen.
