Goofs

Jensen tells Olsen that he could make it to the Indian reserve, 90 to 100 miles away, in a day or a day and a half. In good walking conditions this might be just barely possible for a seasoned hiker; but not through mountainous terrain, in the dead of winter, with a foot of snow on the ground. Jensen has lived at the camp for three years, and would presumably know better.

Quotes

Deer God: When an animal looks up at the night sky, what does it see? Thousands and thousands of tiny points. Then a man looks up at the same points and sees millions of stars; galaxies, within which are billions of planets. Do you want to know what I see? Were you there when I created the stars?

User Reviews

Watchable. It was fine until the end

I found it interesting and was excited for some kind of explenation for everything that was going on, but the ending fell short...
