I thought that the filmmaker did a really good job handling all of the difficult themes and tropes of childhood trauma and the stereotypes that have affected indigenous people. A friend in my community told me about this film, and I am really glad I saw it and proud to see us being represented in this way.

Curious to see what this filmmaker does next
Not the worst...
Ever get a headache after watching a movie because you had a hard time following it? This is one of those movies. I understand that in Horror movies, dream scenes can be a good source of jump scares. Also, psychotic episodes and visions are good, too. HOWEVER, If a movie has too much of either and you can't tell what's real and what's not...there's when the headaches begin. I like the ex-husband and ex-wife working together part of the story...THAT I can follow. Adds some grounding to the story. The rest I mostly understood, but after the end....headache. One time watch, folks. Peace.
It just doesn't seem right.
The acting is a bit off. The married cop couple were totally annoying. Nothing they said had a whit of verisimilitude.
The story borders on exploitative while being certainly confusing. The house was in foreclosure but he inherited it? In the end I didn't really know or care what was going on. Well, except for the dog returning.
At least, the cinematography and sound was professionally done.
Otherwise, there is a lot to cringe over with this one.
