A Powerful Movie with a Powerful Message

As the founder of the Parabox Montclair International Film Festival, rarely have I seen a film as powerful and moving as this one. We were honored to have it be the "kick-off" film at our festival this year. From a film-making standpoint, the direction was superb. First timer James R. Gorrie has created a film that reaches out to all age groups, and left me with a sense of hope and understanding. Above all, "The Indian" kept me thinking and reflecting about my own family well after seeing it. The acting was flawless, especially from the lead character Danny, played by Matt Dallas. There are several scenes in the film where he does not say anything, but his emotion leaps off the screen and pulls at the heart. I highly recommend seeing this film!
