Miss Meadows (2014)

Very well executed

Best movie ever!

Absolutely the worst movie.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Leftist will hate this movie. However, Conservatives will love it. Yes, it borders on the absurd. However, I found it to be very funny and insightful. It was an brilliant commentary on the impotence of society and the moral imperative to deal with the evil violent monsters who plague us. Every one of Miss Meadow's targets deserved what they got. This is Old West "Law and Order" justice and decency applied to the 21st century. Yes, vigilante retribution is illegal. However, it would be unnecessary and even unthinkable if our system were not failing. Today, with "Black Lives Matter" and "Antifa" working hard to emasculate law enforcement, vigilante action (i.e. self defense) may become the only option for decent people.

"Miss Meadows" is a really strange movie. While I was watching it, there were times I was not sure what the point of the entire exercise was supposed to be. I eventually concluded that it was supposed to be a (black) comedy of sorts. But the humorous moments are for the most part really low key, and the movie flirts around with some serious material that doesn't mix very well with the comic material. But there are additional problems with the movie. It's really leisurely paced, with a very slow-evolving story. And despite the story moving at an unswift pace, there are some plot points that are not made to be very clear or are not very well told at all. (For example, the character of the sheriff disappears for an extremely long time before reappearing.) This movie is certainly not for a general audience, and I suspect that even many devotees of independent films might find it more strange than entertaining. Despite what I've just said, I do think that there will be some people who will like this movie. If you are really into strange and offbeat cinema and are willing to put up with some serious shortcomings, then you will *probably* enjoy "Miss Meadows".

i've never reviewed a movie on IMDb before. i review them on my facebook page when i feel the urge, but i'm supremely unqualified to do so. although what the qualifications would be, i don't exactly know.first, let me say that black comedy is a category which seems to impact me and stick to me longer than nearly any other genre. and i'm a sucker for the unreliable narrator as well and they usually go hand-in-hand.when i say this movie was brilliant, i have no proof of it, no one single detail which would qualify it, but i do know it held me enthralled from beginning to end. and yes, there were a couple of rough patches where i thought the script sort of wandered off track, but then, i didn't write it, so it might well have been exactly what they intended and that one scene or two or an exchange of dialogue just didn't resonate with me.i completely understand this genre is not for everyone and the comedy goes right over the heads of many people--too many things seem to do so these days.i apologize for the wandering 'review', but i just think it deserves 2-3 stars more than the IMDb is showing as the average. don't let the slightly low rating keep you from watching it./guy

Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is an elementary school teacher with an apparent heart of gold. She also has a zero tolerance approach to ne'er do wells and exacts righteous justice using a hand gun. Then she starts a relationship with the town's sheriff (James Badge Dale) and her whole life gets turned upside down which leads her to face up to the past as the inevitability of the future looms ever nearer.Now I rather enjoyed this 'quirky' film, it has a sort of charm and is very stylish – especially Miss Meadows – she even has 'clothes on sex', but is has been criticised for being right wing. The idea that there is only one way to deal with wrong doers and that is by taking a leaf out of Draconia's handbook. The way it is presented does have a hint of unbelievability about it and I thought it may have been a spoof like say 'Super' nearly was. It though does not play for laughs or satire and is a basic relationship film and so does not mange to hit the right notes – which is a pity as everyone in it does a really good job and it is an easy and a short watch. If in doubt go for rentals this is not one that will benefit from subsequent viewings.
