...only to discover the movie was already in my streaming queue. :)

I didn't end up liking the movie as much as you did or seeing as much in it, but reading your review enriched my experience.

>>To the Americans, every step they take through a wilderness teeming with savages and redcoats is survival horror. To Oak and her family, it's a home invasion.

Yes!

>>I can't remember the last time I saw a polyamorous triad—a genuine, canonical OT3—as the casual romantic heroes of a movie

Yes! What an awesome surprise.

>>It is a pleasure to watch this story unfold from an indigenous perspective

I wish that had been consistent and that we hadn't spent so much time with the U.S. soldiers once they appeared. I also wish the movie had been written or directed by someone Native and to see how that would have changed the story.

Like you, I was reminded of The Witch, along with The Last of the Mohicans (another non-western movie featuring Native characters during a white man's war) and Apocalypto.

I've got a review lined up for posting as soon as I finish articulating my thoughts on the last movie of the group it's included in.
