Review of Reel Injun (2010) by Andrew U — 03 Nov 2010

Really liked this. It would have been much better served as a 4- or 5-part miniseries running 8 or 10 hours total, but I salute Neil Diamond for getting it done with the resources he had. It's a fascinating subject. And it made me realize that several of my all-time favorite movies are ones that show "Injuns" as real human beings! It gave me some more films to seek out, too--I immediately bought DVDs of "Smoke Signals" and "The Fast Runner.".

I would love to see a TV series about contemporary Native Americans living their real lives.
