I love this Hallmark presentation .....Beautiful scenery and a incredible acting jobs on all of those in it...This was earlier in Jessica Langes actting career and she did a incredible job....I remember reading this book when i was in High School and Hallmark does a excellent job in sticking to the story and howit's presented...If you want to see a awesome peek into life back than , then i highly recommend this production of O Pioneers!...worth every penny... :)

Bought this movie because it looked interesting plus I think Jessica Lange is a very good actress, my daughters and I watched it and really enjoyed it, it was just a really nice enjoyable movie and will watch it again in the future.

I loved this movie and if you love romance you will too. Good ending so that’s a real plus in this era. Christian values.

This is is a visual feast of a movie, filled with great performances and a lot of historical eye candy. Yes, there are many scenes of the land, the prairie, the views- thats because the story is about the land! The scenery is both stark and beautiful and the stories are timeless, - love, greed, loneliness, passion, longing, tragedy and joy. You have to watch and listen, much of the dialogue is taken from the book and so it sounds like it is from another time, a different cadence, with the immigrant accented speech, and long gone local customs. You will feel the cold of a winter on the Nebraska plains, the cutting wind as you bounce home over frozen ruts in an open wagon, to a sod and log house, and the never ending chores that await. l This film transports you back to take a close look at the pioneers who settled once the wagons stopped rolling and the ones who stuck and made something. You understand the generations of our forebears and what it took to first endure, then prosper, to make this country. Roll through Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri or Iowa today and think about this movie as you look out the window at the fields and cities. The performances are very good. Jessica Lange is perfect, and Ann Heche is unrecognizable, playing the spoiled, narcissistic desperately lonely and out of place half of a pair of star crossed lovers, and check out who plays the part of the Jessica Lange character as a girl. Great actress, before she got waif thin and went Holly wood. Anyway, one of my favorites, and the music is spot on, it is meant to be big and lush- like the land and the experience of being part of it.

Pleased with my purchase and its fast delivery.

Has a very sad and dark twist at the end that I wish it didn't have, but the acting is very good. Scenery is great. Interesting movie, otherwise.

Absolutely wonderful story about strong woman's triumph over hard-times (not to mention her greedy, ungrateful, ignorant brothers) and long delayed happiness with her childhood love. A Willa Cather classic. A story with tragic deaths and unforgettable example of forgiveness.

first 10 minutes of above dvd did not play. Will try again and let you know. faulty dvd?
