He has met her once before, was drawn to her, and after exchanging words comes to discover something about himself, and the weight of the things he has done in the past, that changes him possibly forever.
The whole of "The Woodsman" is thought-provoking, to be sure, but for all of the seeming accuracy writer-director Nicole Kassell brings to the project, she is not as skilled in creating a convincing character arc for Walter.
Where "The Woodsman" suffers is in a conclusion that doesn't conclude much of anything, leaving Walter's circular personality and alleged catharsis in a state of hazy limbo.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Woodsman
For sheer guts alone, one has to applaud the makers of The Woodsman, who must have suffered ear damage from all the doors slamming in their faces when they went around trying to get the film made.
In the meantime, Walter tries not to stare at the pre-teen schoolgirls who ride the bus he takes to work, and stares sullenly out his window at the schoolyard across the street (“the only landlord in town who’ll take my money” he remarks to Carlos’s bafflement at his suspicious choice of living quarters).
The Woodsman loses some of its dark fairy-tale quality towards the end, injecting a few false-seeming notes of heroism that don’t quite mesh with rest of the film’s hard-nosed and realistic point of view.

I'm even tempted to say that Kevin was robbed of an Oscar for Best Actor, as no one's going to touch something on the subject of child molesters, but if you get ugly or gain weight for a part, by all means, win an award for something that anyone could've done.

 IGN: The Woodsman Review
Like its main character, it seems to be in a state of constant struggle to remain restrained and in control.
The Woodsman is based on a play, and like so many plays adapted for the screen, it's limited to a few sets and a minimal narrative drive.
That's because it's more of a study of a flawed man who knows his demons, and we want to see if he can overcome them, even when those flaws are the most heinous imaginable.

 IGN: Woodsman, The Review
Rather than painting Walter as either a victim or a perpetual perpetrator, Bacon creates a real person with whom we identify – be it via the monotony of his everyday life or the larger context of his conflict between what he wants and what is right.
The film itself is not a paean to the reformed criminal, an ode to those unfortunate souls who committed crimes and end up paying for them the rest of their lives; rather, it's simply a portrait of humanity, drawn without simplifying or explaining one particular person's problems.
Since he has become our emotional anchor, rudderless as he may be, Kassell creates a conflict between what we usually expect from our protagonists – namely, that they succeed in their relative quest – and what we know to be right, moral, or appropriate.

Brave, thoroughly confident, and accomplished, The Woodsman demonstrates a mastery that is astounding for a first effort.
Variety: A stunningly crafted work from first-time featurefeature director Nicole Kassell, "The Woodsman" is a sober, penetrating account of a pedophile struggling to overcome his sexual attraction to young girls and construct a normal life.
Avoiding fl and white moral ground for a more complex, compassionate view, this unsettling yet redemptive drama depicts its protagonist as a man in a cage, as much a victim as an architect of his obsession.

 DVD RE-RUN INTERVIEW: A Humanist Approach To A Hot-button Topic, Nicole Kassel on "The Woodsman"
Securing an option to adapt Steven Fechter's play "The Woodsman" while still a graduate student at NYU film school [by writing the first draft on spec], she transposed the barebones minimalist play into raw, moody Philadelphia locations, the home of producer Lee Daniels ["Monster's Ball"].
She also landed a dynamic cast anchored by dark side veteran Kevin Bacon, whose riveting intensity as lead is for many a career best.

 Woodsman DVD at Video Universe
For this reformed character, the path to redemption comes strewn with cracked paving stones, which need to be carefully navigated with every tentative step he takes.
The sensitivity with which the material in THE WOODSMAN is executed derives from a potent mix of intelligently written source material, wonderful performances (with Bacon in particular putting in a career-defining turn), and an authoritative vision from director Nicole Kassell (THE GREEN HOUR).
A fascinating portrait of a life caught in a state of perpetual turmoil, this is an audacious second feature from Kassell.

 THE WOODSMAN
This story of a convicted pedophile (played by a sad-faced Kevin Bacon) brings an understanding of the character’s psychology without ever attempting the impossible task of evoking justification or sympathy for him.
The aim of The Woodsman seems to be to explore the psychology of the pedophile rather than draw any social or moral conclusions.
Concerns about whether he should be locked up, or how his actions affect his victims, are purposely placed outside of the film’s frame of reference.

The Woodsman, carpentered to a fault, wrings pathos from Walter's abuse at the hands of would-be woodsmen and then gives him an occasion to unload on a child molester himself.
It's equally handy that his new girlfriend, Vickie (Kyra Sedgwick), is in the unique position of being able to forgive him for his sins.
The Woodsman should be pretty intolerable, but the writing—line by line—is heartfelt and probing, the direction gives the actors room to stretch out, and the performances are miraculous.
