Terrible acting, AND offensive for Indigenous Canadians

First Of all, the acting here is abysmal. I've seen high schoolers in drama class who would be better than these actors.

Secondly, the writer and director did absolutely ZERO research on the First Nations culture and traditions here in BC where the movie is set. Most Of the First Nations characters are acted by white people, and the depictions of religion and tradition bear ZERO resemblance to the actual people who live in these communities. Cultural appropriation at its worst. Or is it even appropriation since they bungled it so badly? I don' teven know where to start.

The concept for this movie is half-decent, and it's a real shame that a better job wasn't done.
