Northern Saskatchewan autumn, very well done, beautiful landscapes with generally level horizons. An efficient film with only four or five main characters. Dialog including three dialects of Woodland Cree spoken and written. Natural and authentic actors speaking nearly enough to make me learn some Cree. A theme that compares and contrasts looking to the future and respecting the past. Writing and Direction that makes me think, and cinematography from sometimes unique and seemingly perfect viewpoint. Very good sound recording and quality, and some relevant and authentic music. Only reason I did not rate it 10 is it could have been even tighter in places, and we fans of the medium generally tend to overrate the films we like.
