Negative Positive
Title: As good now as when I first saw it.
Review: This was one of the first "Indian" movies I saw (other than the Billy Jack films), and this is the movie responsible for starting me on the path towards a love affair with Sherman Alexie, Louise Erdrich, and others. Although the look of some of the secondary characters is a little bit dated, and although the tone feels a little more paranoid to me then it did ten years ago, it still rings true. Gary Farmer gives a heartbreaking performance as a man-child trying to find his way, and an early powerful performance from Graham Greene easily catches the viewer off guard. Even though I had seen this film years ago, somehow his part had slipped from my mind, and I found myself near tears as watched this future great ratchet the emotional level of the movie to a higher place.
Is the review positive or negative?
