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.

I'm glad it was useful.

I also wish the movie had been written or directed by someone Native and to see how that would have changed the story.

Agreed. I know from interviews that Horn had script input, but that's not the same as authorship from scratch. Hence wondering what genre films there are by Native writers/directors. The fact that I can't think of any shouldn't mean they don't exist.

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.

I look forward!
