The critic above really is 'Debbie Downer' about this movie. The effects were pretty good. But more importantly the overall storyline was unique. I loved hearing the Native American myths. All the actors were actual Native Americans and the stories were 'true' to their myths. Native American history is something Americans rarely get the chance to hear. I rented this movie from Netflix, and knew I had to own it. Its moving, funny, realistic, and comments on things that exist now in Native American communities. Its an awesome movie and the amazon reviewer above deserves two thumbs down!

A real Eye opener!
Added 2/2/2010
I have watched this movie over and over. It has held my attention in the most captive way as I am one that has difficulty sitting still for very long. With this movie I don't mind and hate to see it end. Guess that's why I have watched it so much.LOL It is good to see the Nations in the way that was and will be again. I believe...... Susan

Mark this for a great movie!!!
Added 10/28/2009
I liked this one and anticipated it coming out. I saw reviews of it and it looked fantastic then. But seeing the movie and following the story is great. I would recommend reading about the people, legends, and how this stories / legends came about.
But just great entertainment. The story is relevant today. Seeing how the young and current generations have lost interest / faith in past traditions. New age beliefs and way of life have made life into a world of convenience.

A truly wonderful movie
Added 9/13/2009
Please do not pay any serious attention to the Amazon editorial review above. The writer must have completely missed the filmic journey offered by this movie: its wonderful messages, unique presentation, and rich text and subtext. As a white, middle-class person, I found the film enchanting. Not only do we journey along with the grandson and grandfather, we are brought into a special way of filmmaking that thankfully deviates from standard Hollywood fare. This movie should be seen by all who have journeyed from adolescence to adulthood, as well as those just beginning their journeys. Please do not pass this film by. It is truly a treat. I don't know how this review will show my rating for this movie since the rating link wouldn't work for me, but I would give it the highest rating possible.

Ok, but not great!

I hate to say this because I support and love indian films. But, this one was a bit of a disappointment. The acting wasn't very good. Russel Means did the best he could with the script. It was kind of a rip off of Rocky Balboa set in Native American culture.
It's worth watching once, but don't expect A+ quality.

This was an AMAZING movie. I love how Black Cloud struggles and then finally overcomes his problems. All the actors are amazing. I love Eddie Spears and Nathaniel Arcand, they are amazing. Russel Means, Tim McGraw, and Rick have all done a wonderful job. I love everything about this movie. Amazing simply Amazing.
