Brilliant movie, so compelling and heartbreaking. Jojo Bapteise Whiting & LaDainian Crazy Thunder were amazing. Especially loved Bill’s defiance & the perseverance of all the characters. It’s beautifully shot too.

The vista views of America were beautiful on the big screen pic.twitter.com/cg1jkPgGHP
I really enjoyed it, the two leads were captivating - especially Jojo Bapteise Whiting who was incredibly charismatic. A slow burn that is upsetting at times but also uplifting & hopeful. I love that we are starting to see more indigenous stories come to both big & small screens.

A slow burn film that wraps you in from its tense second half. I was very glued to the screen. The film is shrouded in glimmers of despair and tragedy but it ends on a hopeful note. Loved hearing Cone and Get Your Love near the end. A very grounded story and performances. 4/5.

The Hunger Games star plays a cash-strapped Uber driver on a mission to bring a gawky teenager out of his shell – with memorably disastrous consequences. The movie screens in advance on June 19th, so we look forward to seeing you there.
