I did not like it

It's bad. I used to trap, when I was young & could walk, on islands but this was bad. We got stranded once, my trapping partner & me, I'm Native he was not, running out of stuff pretty bad in winter. But this was just bad. I liked the premonitions.

Slower movie but very enjoyable

The pacing of the movie is slower so if you are looking for action move along. I loved the main character's journey. Forced from her home and finally back after being forced to be "civilized". The clash between her culture and indoctrination is subtle. The viewer feels her struggle of trying to be what she is forced to be by those in power and her culture. Actress did fantastic job of conveying emotion with subtle facial expressions.

Wish I had abandoned this snoozefest

Perhaps the worst film in this genre I've ever seen. I thought of turning it off after about an hour when nothing was happening, but decided to stick it out. I was not rewarded for my perseverance. I actually found myself hoping all the characters would perish so this yawner would end. Pretty much every other survival film out there is better. Not only was it boring, but there was never any explanation given for why the characters were abandoned in the first place and there is no real sense for how long they were abandoned. This is supposedly inspired by a true story, which means it is likely mostly made up, so the filmmakers could have added anything they wanted. Instead, we're treated to an hour and a half of funeral music accompanied by the same amount of excitement one might experience at a funeral. Waste of time.

Definitely heartbreaking but I must see

As I sat and watch this movie I thought occurred to me even before I came upon it the things done to the native American people they get no months no days no remembrance their culture is all but wiped out even African American culture rules today because money can be made from it pretty much everybody who can be exploited has been exploited in America but you can't explore their native Americans because they don't believe in exploitation they just believe in love spirits the Earth and enjoying the moment of being alive there's no money to make in that so it's so sad that we don't know more about native American culture I know this movie is not based on hatred for native Americans it's just one more reminder of how they are so easily forgotten and the only time he will hear their stories if they say the movie so they can make money from it.

Highly Recommended

A very good movie about a very determined young woman forced to survive in a seemingly impossible situation. Torn between reliance on her Christian beliefs and her Native heritage she must deal with misfortune on a level that would break most people. A well-written, well-acted psychological drama based on true events.
