This carefully constructed and gritty film depicts native Americans coping with modern society however it also speaks to all of us who have suffered through a loss. It tells of some life journeys as the characters find and lose their way. I liked the way the film portrays the human condition plainly and directly and captures the realism of growing up in difficult times with psychological burdens that thread through the family's individual lives. Well done. The acting is superb and directing is a straightforward minimalist approach. There are sex scenes that are in context for the movie but may offend some viewers. The entire movie is for mature viewers. The ensemble cast just does a great job. I would recommend this film for all who crave a non Hollywood non stereotypical movie without pretense in the true style of excellent independent films.
