Review of War Pony

War Pony (2022)
2/10
It could have been MUCH better
5 September 2022
Slow, long, and boring film ! I was expecting a lot as I'm passionate about the realities of contemporary life on Native American reservations, and I love when a film is shot in a reservation with Native actors, so that's great. The biggest issue in this film is the script, as there is almost no script, this is more a documentary than a film, and that's a shame. The characters could have been more engaging, and they're not involved in a clear story with goals and conflicts, the film lacks conflicts and built, deep relationships between the different characters. The result is that it's not easy to follow what's going on, for we don't and can't know where it's going on. The film is so slow, and long, I watched it at the DEAUVILLE FILM FESTIVAL and several people went out of the theater, the filmmaker herself didn't stay to watch it and left at the beginning to come back at the end, maybe she had something more interesting to do in town. Again, I'm passionate about Native Americans but this film is a missed opportunity.
