02/15/2011 Yes, slow to start, however gives great insight to the experiences of aboriginal people dealing with the influences of European contact. Could apply to many indigenous cultures in any country, past and present. See more 07/19/2009 It is like a documentary rather than a movie. But i enjoyed watching it. See more 03/19/2009 I found this movie to be incredibly dull, and a huge disappointment since I absolutely loved Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. The pacing is too slow, and it really doesn't feel like anything happens throughout the course of the film. It also lacked a strong central character as I didn't feel particularly connected or engaged by anyone in the movie. The one good thing I can say is that it is beautifully shot, but that's about it. I wish this movie was so much better, but for me, it just wasn't. See more 01/03/2009 Though there are a number of very effective moments, this doesn't work as well as the first feature. The artiness doesn't work at all and much of the film seems concerned with showing how these people live regardless of pacing. That said, it's still fascinating and the preacher is a pretty evil character, which is very effective. But it's nothing compared to the first movie. See more 06/05/2008 A beautiful piece where poetry and reality converge perfect... I love when the shaman said to the white man "we believe happy people should not worry about hidden things" and "our spirits are offended if we think to much". Wow!!! See more 04/02/2008 If you are interested in Inuit culture, take this 2 hours slow journey, otherwise avoid it. See more Read all reviews
