Review of Dreamkeeper (2003) by Laurie M — 12 May 2014
Dreamkeeper is a richly detailed movie. Basically the theatrical presentation of several different Native Americans legends, the main story centers on a troubled young man who agrees to accompany his grandfather on a trip to escape that same trouble he has gotten into at home.
As they travel, the traditional grandfather tells stories that his grandson Shane isn't always eager to hear. Eddie Spears and August Schellenberg work well together in this wonderful coming of age story.
Native American legends just aren't done as much as they could be in Hollywood as they could be. Too many movies these days are just the same material done over in a new way. The legends included in Dreamkeeper may be traditional, but are in no way old fashioned.
This movie is definitely a must-see for anyone, although some of the scenes might scare young children.
