Alissa Wilkinson Vox Inconvenient Indian counters the "savages" mythology with the truth of Indigenous life, targeting the narratives that colonizers have internalized and lived by and showing how they've been used to reify power, over and over again. Oct 14, 2020 Full Review Jude Dry indieWire An evocative and visually ripe love poem to Canadian Indigenous culture. Rated: B Sep 28, 2020 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Latimer... takes Thomas King's central thesis of white culpability for Indigenous suppression and conjures conscience-tweaking images of grace and power. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Barbara Goslawski That Shelf Inconvenient Indian is the kind of film that inspires action. This is vibrant and essential activist cinema ... grounded in the promise of a better future. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online Structural digressions reveal themselves to be gently layered thematic progressions; in Latimer's hands, deft portraiture builds to a vision of profound collective power.
