In 1913 in the Canadian Arctic, Kuanana returns from hunting to find his wife and daughter kidnapped and sets of to find the men who did it.

Globe and Mail

The combination of icy landscapes, practical details about dog teams, igloo building and raw meat, and a simple tale built around love of family, is compelling.

Spare to a fault, Maliglitut feels like a half-conceived work, dazzling in theory but deeply-flawed and underwhelming in execution.

Kunuk's film is also marred by suspect camerawork that fails to focus on what is most important in specific scenes.

Cinema Scope

Shot on location near Igloolik, Nunavut, the film is foremost faithful to place; there are no stand-ins, no surrogates, upon which the drama unfolds.

Maliglutit might not be the rollicking high-energy masterpiece of its predecessor, but its value lies elsewhere, in its meticulous preservation of an endangered lifestyle.

A lot about this film was fascinating but it didn't entertain me and many of the directoral choices bugged me.
