Review of Dances with Wolves (1990) by Vincent Canby for The New York Times — 17 Jan 1995
Mr. Blake's screenplay and Mr. Costner's direction of it are, with the exception of three memorable sequences, commonplace. The film is painstakingly composed of small details of frontier and tribal life that should be riveting.
Most of the time they aren't.
