It's amazing how beautiful the arctic can be

A thrilling Inuit masterpiece. Very exciting stuff.

If this was in English, would anyone care about this stiltedly acted, badly paced, directionlessly told, idiotically written, over-long, wish-I-was-Tarkovsky soap opera?

It's ineptly made, it's slow, and it's THREE FRIGGING HOURS LONG, but we're all supposed to love it because it's made by Eskimos and therefore so much more pure than anything that comes from Evil, Evil Hollywood. This movie is a perfect example of why there's no money in independent films, and why people all over the world have movies that they hocked their dogs to make sitting unreleased in their garage because they can't get a distributor to save their sorry lives. Unclean! Unclean!

Bravo to the Eskimos for putting together a film where there is zero film industry. It's a good plot, and the insight into their culture is rich. However, it is quite clearly an amateur production. The acting is mostly poor, the story is utterly black & white with flat characterization, and it's shot on ugly video. There isn't any distinct style or voice at work. I didn't mind watching it but it certainly isn't noteworthy and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really interested in Eskimos.

One of those rare films that genuinely feels like a documentary.

really really really good.

Very odd and interesting movie, showing life so diffrent from what I am used to. Great story.

am i the only one that disliked this? boring, overlong, gimmicky, and i couldn't even tell the three main characters apart.

exciting doc-style portrait of North American Indian life. Dramatic, compelling.
