Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
    • Excerpt: A deeply spiritual film about loss, caring, and starting over.
  • James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
  • [New] | MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: An extraordinary semidocumentary drama, beautiful and beautifully accomplished, about dignity, work, and masculinity. Heartbreaking and yet utterly unsentimental, this is one of the best and most important films of the year.
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: The result is a magnificent look at what it means to be human. Zhao is documenting life itself on the Pine Ridge Reservation through this one young man’s pain. She’s showing how true strength is saying, “No more.”
  • James Roberts @ Glide Magazine
    • Excerpt: Zhao’s deft blend of reality and fiction creates a story that’s more effortlessly authentic than 99.999% of modern country music. She has channeled the spirits of Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakum into a film of such raw power and emotional intensity that is instantly unforgettable.
