This historic drama about a female painter defending the rights of
native Americans in the 19th century was beautifully done, though full of cliches. The plot was a
bit flat, but the star-studded cast did their best to imbue it with depth and
emotion. Jessica Chastain and Sam Rockwell played their parts with the usual
commitment, and Michael Greyeyes delivered a captivating and charismatic
performance as Sitting Bull. The directing on this was especially good, I felt,
and the cinematography was just gorgeous. They had excellent lighting and a
great eye for shot composition. The editing was very satisfying as well, creating
an even pace with lots of atmospheric material. At times like these, I think
this is an important movie. It is necessary to remember that unforgivable
atrocities were committed by every nation on the planet at some point and no one
has the right to point any fingers. Rather, it is our duty to learn from the
past and help those under similar threat today.
3/5 for
awe-inspiring visuals and an important message of democracy and human rights.
