      ashley h Sioux City is an excellent film. It is about a young Lakota Sioux, adopted by a wealthy Jewish couple in Beverly Hills, who gets in touch with his cultural roots. Lou Diamond Phillips and Salli Richardson give amazing performances. The script is well written. Lou Diamond Phillips also did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the drama and mystery. Sioux City is a must see. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Frances H Interesting movie but a bit simplistic.
