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.

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.

Kept My Attention

I enjoyed this movie. I don't know how much was fact or fiction, though.

I wonder why her husband's friends didn't come back for them when they realized they didn't return after two weeks?

I'll think of this movie for a long time after I've watched it, being thankful I have plenty of food and a good home out of the elements.

Highly recommended

Great movie! I enjoyed it from the start to the end. I will definitely be watching it again: this movie just made the list of my top 5 favorite westerns. The events are based on a true story and I found it to be including much indigenous influence. Overall this movie may be a little slow for some, but it kept me interested in what was going to happen next with each scene. It's definitely a different type of "western", but I believe it narrates the events very well. Julia Jones and the actors playing Charlie do an amazing job!

I highly recommend this movie especially to those who enjoy history-related movies.

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.
