76/100

A successful film not just because of the marriage of the right actor in the appropriate genre, but also the timely infusion of challenging questions about a nation at war.

Set in a Virginia farm during the Civil War, this popular family film offers all-American star Jimmy Stewart a classic role, a widower with six sons who initially refuses to takes sides or get involved in the conflict--only to learn otherwise.

Shenandoah often comes close to being soap opera, stays on its dramatic path because of the cast and the work of director Andy McLaglen and screen writer James Lee Barrett.

Not too memorable, but a decent drama with James Stewart that reflects the harsh nature of the Civil War. (First and only viewing - 6/9/2018)

Wonderful movie, but the pointed ambiguity of Ann's demise was more disturbing than a graphic explanation.

Some of the narrative was too far fetched. A family standing up to the confederates coming to take their livestock and not being punished for it started to lose me. Then most other interactions never had any repercussions, everything they did just worked out.
