Jake D Cara Gee and a young Shay Eyre excel at the complicated mother-daughter relationship that is the heart of this movie. While touching on intergenerational trauma and the struggles of young motherhood might not provide the most original character progression, sometimes all you need is Luke Kirby being a bad beau and some earnest acting choices. Also shoutout to Jordan Prentice, whose chemistry with Cara Gee made me as well as Shay Eyre's Peeka wish, only briefly, that Warren Fensky was Lena's old boyfriend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Modestly made and brilliantly written, acted and produced - M.I.C. for sure! Last time I was hijacked on a Saturday night not expecting some flic on Canadian tv to wrench my guts out was TVO's airing of Newman's Nobody's Fool. or recently watching "Emile" w/ Ian McKellen - but Empire of Dirt is beyond all that - so real, so genuine... I'm embarrassed as an adult male to say it gripped me intensely - I fell in love with every character. Bravo! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched this. Really good to see a film that is human, not spectacle, superhero wars and killing in general. It has a European sensibility, is very well acted and shot, explores values on many levels and has a lot to say. Recommended. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is well intentioned and tries to do right by the aboriginal people, but good intentions cannot save the film from its faults. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Well developed - good story - teaches us.
