Dance Me Outside

I purchased the movie a week ago and finally saw it last night. Unfortunately it is not something that blockbuster carries on a large scale. It was excellent, unlike another viewers comment I did not find it boring at all. The movie is very unique and different which is refreshing from the big Hollywood cookie cutter movies. Adam Beach, Ryan Black, and Michael Greyeyes did an awesome job. As somber as the story line is, there were many funny parts which really made the movie as well. Once you get into the movie you'll be hooked to see what happens to everyone and what happens next. I really recommend it and remember there is not a perfect movie that everyone will like 10 out of 10. I though myself give it a 10 out of 10. Check it out!

I had to bid over and over at an online auction to get my copy. I loved everything about the movie. The casting was superb and the humor could be seen even though the plot line was of a dark nature. I am not Native, and can only guess that this is a close approximation of life on a Reservation to some degree. This film has caused me to wonder many evenings what was factual and what was fictional. Obviously, there are still some stereotypes regarding both people, Whites and Natives. What I liked was that the movie showed some real issues without getting too preachy. It pointed out what some of the basic problems facing Natives are and gave the audience a chance to learn through humor, and yes, horror. Since watching this Movie for the first time, I tend to watch for similar movies, such as Smoke Signals and Cowboys and Indians. I have not been disappointed yet.

This is one of my favourite films. It is both realistic and uplifting and the characters are engaging and interesting.

The film deals with serious issues and problems but the witty dialogue and humour is a breath of fresh air in a weighty world.

I was glad to see "The Rez" as a pilot on CBC (same characters, most of the same actors), however it was short-lived and a bit of a disappointment.

On first watch it's just simply a good movie about an event in the life of two friends. On second watch you notice all the foreshadowing which brilliantly ties in as full circle at the end. I love this movie- it's much better than the show, more entertaining than the book, and probably Adam Beach's best performance.

This qualifies as one of my favorite films. The opening scene is a film classic and sets the tone for the stereotype shattering, searingly funny, utter humanity that almost literally oozes from this film. Amazingly it achieved this without making me mildly nauseated. There are heaping helpings of truth in this movie, all of it not sugar-coated without descending in to excessive emotional manipulation (some degree of emotional manipulation is what the film medium is about). This film actually inspired a TV series in Canada, and launched the career of Adam Beach. There are several very sensitive issues dealt with in this movie, and quite masterfully. A very intelligent and funny film. I liked it so much, I bought the company, I mean, I give it a 10.
