How much has really changed in our world, how much has really changed for the first people of North America, the ones who it was taken from 3 centuries ago. 2 Oglaka Lakota Indians, one a boy and the other a boy-man, struggle to find their way in a world of poverty and barely hidden oppression. They languidly dismiss what they see as their failed culture, and seek the easy path of the white man's criminal world, that hangs like a veil all around them. Events lift the veil and show them that their path, even in this world, is blocked and so they must return to their own culture for clarity & freedom.

Feels like a mokumentary of Native American life. Did you notice the Illuminati tattoo front and center on the older kids chest that is never explained? They throw it in your face and expect you to chuckle and forget about it. TY Riley Keough, ex victoria's secret model, for your anglo saxon FreeMason hit piece on Native Americans, who are in actuality, some of the strongest people on this planet with histories that pre-date all white men. It is clear what club these directors are in, as are most directors in Hollywood. Watch people close to Gina Gammel start to expire if she becomes a bigger director. Cheers!

My mother was 1/2 Oglala Sioux and 1/2 Menominee. She married my father who was German and French. She was raised in Standing Rock Rez until she was 8. I was raised as WASP as they come but always relish my American Indian heritage. While I understand that this is only a movie but seeing as how it's kind of in a documentary format I wish it would have included some good realities that are there as well. The repsentation of the realities seem a little sku'd. The movie was so disappointing because it didn't show the hope that's available to them on the reservations. It lacks the folks who are Ogalala that are the good ones with integrity. Yeah it showed us the way of life by the majority... or so we think... because frankly we don't know the truth because we're not there. But there were some very good people on the Rez - my great grandpa being one of them - He was the last Chief of the Sioux Oglala - Old Thunder. He was a great man and wrote a book talking about his life and how he shared hope with all he worked with on the Rez.

Watched this film with no idea what it was about, other than being set on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Completely blown away by the style and performances. Uncompromising, raw and compelling. If you like the series 'Reservation Dogs' then you'll enjoy this offering. The focus of the story shifts between two young male characters who are trying to get by with their daily lives. There's some alcohol consumption, smoking and dabbling with drugs, drawn from real life experience. The performances are top class and the film marks the very impressive directorial debuts of Keough and Gammell....
