Georgan G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Jelisije J 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved the movie! Gives a glimpse of history and reminds us of what's really important! Grey owl was a man ahead of his time. Would recommend watching Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Well written, well directed and with both a thoughtful and thought provoking performance by Pierce Brosnan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
