Critic Reviews

Sean Axmaker

This is a film about anger, shame and helplessness, and it offers no answers, merely hard questions and angry challenges. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Graham Greene ("Dances With Wolves") in one of the year's best performances, he's a fully dimensional character: pathetic and shrewd, tragic and bitterly funny. Read full review

Roger Ebert

To see this movie is to understand why the faces on Mount Rushmore are so painful and galling to the first Americans. The movie's final image is haunting. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Serious stuff indeed, but the film is also rich with humor -- most of it courtesy of the always-excellent Greene -- and ends with an act of vandalism as shocking as it is exhilarating. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Its strength is the documentary-textured depiction of Native Americans in their social environment. Its weakness is a story that's a patchy combination of soap opera, low-tech magic realism and, at times, ploddingly sociological commentary. Read full review

David Sterritt

The story gets off to a slow start after its riveting documentary-style introduction, but heartfelt acting and unexpected plot twists eventually give it solid dramatic impact. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

Good intentions or not, ineptitude and cloying sentimentality don't do anybody any favors. Read full review
