Inspired by her own acclaimed documentary Birth of a Family, Tasha Hubbard’s Meadowlarks tells the story of four Cree siblings, separated since childhood and now in their fifties, who agree to meet for the first time over a holiday weekend in Banff. Without the usual markers of familiarity, or a shared sense of cultural belonging, Anthony, Connie, Marianne and Gwen discover unexpected moments of joyous synchronicity, conflict, and connection. With further guidance from the warmth of a newly discovered community, a fledgling family is invited to heal. Excited and curious, but also scarred and afraid of rejection, the Meadowlark siblings must contend with where they have been, and who they will become, especially to one another.

You'd be better off watching a documentary than this Hallmark Movie level melodrama. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Jun 26

"Meadowlarks" has its Hallmark-ish edges... But the film’s emotional force is not fake. The story is too painful, the actors too committed, and Hubbard’s compassion too evident for me to dismiss it as merely well-meaning. Go to Full Review Gavin Spoors FILMHOUNDS Magazine Feb 10
3/5
Whilst the characteristics of a melodrama rears its ugly head, Meadowlarks is still worth a watch. An important story that deserves to be told to audiences on the big screen, the committed performances show us the trauma these people have endured.

The actors do their best to give the one-dimensional dialogue some life, but the entire film fails to get much of this emotion across. Go to Full Review Randall King Winnipeg Free Press Dec 3

Meadowlarks earns its tears, both from the characters and, inevitably, from the audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
