There is a poignancy in some of these latter scenes, but it comes too late and never goes deep enough.

Good intentions equal boredom in this slow, overly reverential portrait.

Interesting biopic about someone who loved a culture so much that he became part of it. Some see him as a fraud, but I think he did great work & am glad the movie was made.

An excellent biopic of an Englishmen who lived his life as a Native American who lied about his ancestry and was able to bring such vital discussions of the destruction of the Native American Life.

I thought this was a very moving movie. Pierce Bronson did a good job. If you know anything about the culture you understand what he did. It's very hard to walk in both worlds, you have to choose.

Don't let your prejudice against Brosnan keep you from this movie. It could have been cast better, but it is a great story. I gave it an extra star to counter the haters.
