A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
This movie depicts the life of a small Indian tribe, in a time shortly before the white men became a threat. In the focus of the story is the young Skywalker, who woos cute Morning Sun, but can't seem to convince her father of his qualities. When the outcast Kayowa attack the camp, he hopes for an opportunity to impress him.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
