Zellweger great performance

Rating: 6/10 (18 October 2004)

Jude Law is Inman, who falls in love with Ada Monroe (Kidman) prior to being sent to fight for the South in the American Civil War. When he is seriously injured, Inman is determined to leave the frontline and return home to Cold Mountain. Ada Monroe is battling the freezing winter and it's not until Ruby Thews (Zellweger) comes to her aid that she begins to survive and await the return of Inman.
While everyone accepts that war is brutal, it was the portrayal of the cruelty and viciousness inflicted on those left behind that was captivating and thought provoking. Zellweger's performance was the most notable of the movie.
