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 knew nothing about Grey Owl before this movie. I read some of the bad reviews and their reasons why. I think for the last 20 years people have lost their morals and empathy. If you are looking for lots of action, blood, gore and fighting this most likely is not the movie for you. I thought it was a good movie. It is difficult to play through a person's life in 2 hours. The movie contained scenes you needed to read in to but at the end it all made sense. Some see him as an animal activist. That was not my takeaway. It was more than just about Beavers. It was about everything exists for a reason and has a purpose and man messes it up. We still do!

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.
