Anton Bitel Little White Lies with its pedestrian direction, variable performances and perfunctory dialogue, this is more supernatural soap opera than probing chiller and its bland look... lends the film the undeniable feel of a movie-of-the-week special. Feb 9, 2012 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Radio Older than American Sniper too. And despite Bradley Cooper turning up championing Native Americans, this First Nation telling it like it is thriller about neo-colonialist oppression by a Native female filmmaker has been buried all these years as well.

Rachel B The writing, direction, sound, and basically everything screams after-school special of the 1980's. Even Bradley Cooper seems like a bad actor in this film due to the poor quality of everything else. That basically says enough. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Jelisije J A movie that tries to tell a very important historical events of the abuse and conversion of the native american people in an entertaining supernatural movie..... it wasn't all that entertaining. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Betsy W It was difficult to get very far into the movie because the dialogue is so awful. It's not even serial drama television level. The production quality is pretty low. And every time you hear movie music comes in it's like a parody of a B horror movie from the '80s. Sound quality is so poor it's distracting. You can hear people breathing and lip smacking... The quality of that equipment is pretty low. I really like several of the actors in the movie but they just don't elevate it. A good actor with crappy dialogue and production value cannot carry a movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member L'argomento sarebbe anche di interesse perchè poco esplorato ed assolutamente interessante; la trama anche avrebbe degli sviluppi tutto sommato ben costruiti. Ma tutto perde di importanza di fronte ad una regia e ad un montaggio semplicemente imbarazzanti. Un film che sembra girato con metodi vecchi di 30 anni, dissolvenze e flashback a dir poco terribili; primi piani da soap opera. Evidentemente una persona che regista non è, ha provato ad esserlo, senza riuscirci nemmeno lontanamente. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 151203: Came across this film while attending a Cree Nation awareness course. Decent film featuring many big stars. Done, obviously, on a smaller budget but didn't suffer much as a result. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's about 2% substance and 98% message, but I can see why that would appeal to some, it's just not really for me.
