...a fascinating biography, and the film is to be commended for bringing her story to audiences.

Te Ata ultimately feels more suitable for classroom than mainstream consumption.

Punch Drunk Critics

Te Ata wants to tell one particular story, and it does so well. For anyone who doesn't know who the Chickasaw storyteller was, this biopic is inspirational and necessary.

Rated: 3.5/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

In a current society begging for superior examples for girls and women, "Te Ata" is the kind of story young women of today need to see, hear, and experience.

Rated: 4/5

Movie Nation

May not be an Oscar contender, but it is well-acted, touching and certainly good enough to deserve this Netflix curtain call.

Rated: 2.5/4

I enjoyed the movie. I was expecting to see a sad movie about down trodden people living in miserable situations. It was very pleasant and told a beautiful story about someone that is a legend to her people. I would recommend this movie for anyone including your children as it is a great lesson on a great person.

Sometime fate will lead in the path you need to go. In the movie Te Ata is basically about her seeing the struggle of being native, which as impacted her to move forward and tell the world stories of her culture to make a change.

Story of a famous Chickasaw woman that had to be told in film. A nice short epic of a life that was not too ordinary. Very good indigenous bent during assimilating times.
