Time Out says
Tom Hanks turns on the grizzled charisma in Paul Greengrass’s soulful widescreen western
It says a lot about the demise of the genre that this is Tom Hanks’s first western. Until now, this quintessential all-American actor and the most American of genres haven’t passed within a dried-out gulch of each other – four outings as Sheriff Woody notwithstanding. If he’d been born four decades earlier Hanks would surely have vied with Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart to play upstanding lawmen and noble-minded settlers, facing off against cattle rustlers, outlaws and bandits between trips to a saloon where no one ever seems to pay for drinks.

Don’t let craggy Central Texas mountains deter you from ‘News of the World’ By Joe Holley
I’m hoping you’ll see “News of the World,” the new Tom Hanks movie based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Paulette Jiles, a poet, novelist and memoirist who lives on a hilltop near Utopia in the Hill Country. The novel was a National Book Award finalist in 2016, and the movie likely will win awards, as well.
“News of the World” is the story of Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Hanks), a 72-year-old widower who makes a meager living by reading newspaper articles to paying audiences (a dime apiece) in frontier towns across North Texas. Born in Georgia, Kidd was a teenage private during the War of 1812 and was made a captain during the Mexican War. Before the Civil War, and before his wife’s death, he worked as a printer in San Antonio.
