Watched this film with no idea what it was about, other than being set on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Completely blown away by the style and performances. Uncompromising, raw and compelling. If you like the series 'Reservation Dogs' then you'll enjoy this offering. The focus of the story shifts between two young male characters who are trying to get by with their daily lives. There's some alcohol consumption, smoking and dabbling with drugs, drawn from real life experience. The performances are top class and the film marks the very impressive directorial debuts of Keough and Gammell....

This indie drama is definitely recommended for any lover of film, as it is a very unique and thourough presentation - and very much one of my favourite films of the year.

It must be said, though, that it doesn't spare any punches to say the least. It is a very dark and tragic film, depicting the realities of the criminal circles and how even children can be dragged into it.

The actors all do an incredible job, most of them amatours or just normal residents - and I would very much like to see more of them.

The cinematography feels very unique, very small scale and low key, yet very effective and unique. The same can be said for the cutting and editing.

Overall, an amazing film for sure. I would highly recommend this for any lover of film!

A very good first movie, which reminded me of Songs my brothers taught me. Many topics are addressed, but maybe the most important ones are a realistic representation of life on a Native American reservation, the trajectory of a teenager and a young adult, both hustling and navigating the duties, stereotypes and expectations of what it means to be(come) a man. Physically speaking, Bill reminded me of Eros Ramazzotti when he was in his early 20s.

The actors are amazing and the plot quite surprising. I also enjoyed a few magical/poetic moments in this dramatic film. There is so much empathy towards the main characters and their struggles, it is in many ways a moving and eye opening movie.
