As a Native person, I am so happy that the Native characters in this film are portrayed as real 3 dimensional humans. This is a first! & hopefully the beginning of Natives being represented accurately in the future. I like the story & people need to remember this IS a story not a documentary so the artist/writer that wrote it & the director have artistic liberty to tell the story how they feel it needs to be told. It was beautifully written & told. The violence had the right amount of attention given to it. I appreciate that. Michael Greyeyes makes you believe he is Sitting Bull. Stunning performances by all the actors in this film & Jessica Chastain is class.

Not taking sides, but enjoying every moment of this beautiful story of a woman who throws all vestiges of her comfortable New York life aside, literally, and pursues the call in her heart to "paint" history. What's not to love?

Sad very sad movie it shows us how humans can act in a way so barbaric no love for each other. and yet in today's world we are still behaving in a similar matter. How sad that this kind of behavior between humans can still take place. But loved it don't know why it took so long to see it i would recommend the 🎥 god bless us all. carlos Gomez
