Definite hidden gem
Added 5/28/2007
I am not Native but can only guess that this is a close approximation of life on a Reservation to some degree. This film has caused me to wonder many evenings what was factual and what was fictional. Obviously, there are still some stereotypes regarding both people - whites and natives. What I liked was that the movie showed some real issues without getting too preachy. It pointed out what some of the basic problems facing Natives are and gave the audience a chance to learn through humor, and yes, horror.

This is a really good movie and can give the viewer a small window into what reservation life is and was like for American Indians.

Fantastic First Nation Film
Added 2/10/2005
This is one of the best movies I have seen. The cast is full of young indigenous actors who do an outstanding job. The story has a little bit of everything: love, revenge, injustice, sex, and especially humor. The music is great also. I actually prefer this movie over Smoke Signals, which is an excellent film. In fact, I have watched it several times. On a more serious note, the film addresses a lot of pertinent contemporary issues regarding indigenous people. It's definitely worth watching!

Dance me back

If you want to see a movie showing Adam Beach and Michael Greyeyes in their earlier days, this is one. Its a great movie that shows how difficult growing up on the rez can be. I wish we had more Native American movies showing their lives and thoughts about present day as well as their traditional stories put into historical movies, etc. as well.
