Liz Braun Original Cin Thanks to the appealing performances of Tatyana Rose Baptiste and Joshua Odjick, the film is charming and often funny. Darrell Dennis has spoken of creating Indigenous stories coming from a place of strength rather than trauma, and he succeeds here. Rated: B Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said a pleasant enough boy meets girl story set on a reserve, aimed squarely at teens and young adults who may identify with the leads’ dilemmas and blossoming relationship as they make life-altering decisions.
