06/12/2020 I've watched this film maybe 5 times over the last few years simply because Benicio del Toro's performance is truly amazing. This film is based on a true story. A great story. The story allows us to see the process of seeking a solution to the blinding headaches suffered by a WWII veteran who, incidentally, is a Plains Indian. While del Toro is Puerto Rican, his acting chops thoroughly convince us that he is truly Native American. No, he doesn't don a feather headdress and dance around a fire. His performance is quiet, subtle, masterful. It should have been Benicio del Toro's second Oscar. See more 06/15/2016 Very flat and slow-moving, but another solid performance from Del Toro. See more 12/01/2015 This film was a real adventure of discovery. No flashy romances, no bombings, just something really close to reality. Like a walk in unknown woods. A curve here reveals a rock, a crevasse, a brook, a bear... I found the whole very pleasant, touching at times, hurtful. I was interested at what could be revealed and the pace was very pleasant. The filming was very quick relatively and reminds us the method of Clint Eastwood. All the characters were well rendered. I loved that they were all doing the best they could, where prejudices were few and understanding was their goal. The dvd extras were delightful as well. A native story well rendered that is not about cruelty, bashing or anything too despicable to hate one group or another, just the contrary. See more 12/17/2014 Nothing wrong with the acting ...just , to long , boring after an hour or so... See more 10/26/2014 good. just not quite enough substance. See more 08/24/2014 Biografico.
