K. Burk (Gilbert, AZ USA)
You'll like this movie. (Personally, I loved both!) Not only did it include at least two members of the NE cast, it had that same kind of otherworldly-yet-relatable feel to it.
I enjoyed the acting of both lead characters, although Thomas's accent was a little odd (it sounded similar to an Irish brogue in the way it moved up and down, but perhaps it's just because I've never heard a storytelling accent before). I really felt as though I knew the father in the story by the end of it. I won't spoil the movie for anyone but it is a heartbreaker when you find out what happened.
Great job--I hope to see more from this ensemble!
Funny... June 12, 2008
D. Kanigan (CT, USA)
Film is set on an Indian Reservation in Idaho. This is the first film directly, acted and produced entirely by Native Americans. The story is centered around Victor and Thomas. Victor is handsome, athletic and a guy's guy. Thomas is a short, geeky nerd and relishes in storytelling. The boys are connected through Victor's Father, who saved Thomas from a fire that killed his parents. Thomas considers Victor's Father a hero and tells worship-like stories about him. He is optimistic, upbeat and a dreamer. Conversely, Victor has to contend with his Father's alcoholism, beatings and verbal abuse - and is a sullen young man who is constantly brooding. Victor and Thomas grow up together in the neighborhood - not a close friendship but one of a forced alliance.
Eventually, Victor's Father leaves him and his Mother to parts unknown. Victor learns that his Father dies and he is asked to pick up his Father's ashes and belongings. Victor leans on Thomas to lend him the money to make the trip to Phoenix, however Thomas will only do so if Victor brings him along the trip.
This is a quirky, funny film - similar to the awarded winning film, Juno. You feel the hatred, the love and the longing that Victor has for his Father. The relationship between Victor and the one-of-a-kind Thomas is similar to John Candy and Steve Martin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Victor comes to learn about his Father and his friend Thomas on his journey. Terrific film.

A. Van Horn (Under Sized Pop)
It's a fantastic movie, funny, and has a good little under story. I reccomend - it's not pow wow-ish or anything, it's just a story that is on a reservation..
