Wildhood

Wildhood is more than just a road trip movie-it's a beautifully intimate exploration of self-discovery, culture, and love. As Link (Phillip Lewitski) and Pasmay (Joshua Odjick) navigate their journey, the film captures every moment with a quiet, poetic honesty that feels both raw and tender. Their chemistry is effortlessly natural, making their evolving bond feel deeply authentic. What stands out is how the film weaves Indigenous identity into the narrative without force-it's simply part of who they are, shaping their paths in ways that feel organic and deeply personal. It's a rare, heartfelt coming-of-age story that makes you feel like you're living it alongside them, every step of the way.

Great casting, soundtrack, and coming of age story. Very emotional and touching. Some people think it's too long, but I disagree. It's the length it needed to be.

A 2-spirited teen drags his younger brother along, as he escapes their abusive father and searches for their mother. Along the way, he meets people who help him become acquainted with his Mi'kmaw heritage, and to express his sexuality.

This is a good 1st feature by the writer-director. However, the film is a bit too long, the leads are a bit too slender, and the coincidences seem a bit stretched. See it if you are interested in the themes, otherwise skip it.

No special effects here. Just a beautiful story about 2 brothers who escape an abusive home to look for their mother. On the journey, they find a friend. Like the soundtrack too!

It was a very good effort. In a world full of cliche films this one stands out for its nuances and emotion. It deals with difficult subjects in a non-superficial way. It was a tad long but that doesnt seem to detract from the film significantly. Highly recommended for people who are tired of the same old.
