User Reviews

Great film

A friend rented this video and said I had to see it. She was so right. It is set in the Northwest where I am living and the sense of place is about the best I have seen in a film. It also reflects the lives of local Native people in a manner few films do. They are real people with common and cultural problems that they cope with. Not heroes or monsters, they are fully realized people. Beyond this, however, this film is hysterical. There are parts where I could not stop laughing. The whole set-up is funny and some scenes just over the top. I am really looking forward to the next film by this team of creative people.
