Goin' South

About This Movie

Goin' South, directed by Jack Nicholson, has this quirky charm that’s hard to ignore. It’s set in a post-Civil War backdrop, which is a neat twist for a comedy-western. Nicholson plays Henry Moon, a charmingly hapless outlaw who finds himself in quite a predicament. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the film’s laid-back vibe. There's a real sense of the absurdity of the law, and the performances are delightful, especially the chemistry between Nicholson and the women in his life. The practical effects and the dusty sets create this authentic atmosphere that feels both comedic and genuine. It's a film that dances between romance and humor while poking fun at societal norms.
