Indian Horse
The story of a small boy called Indian Horse began his life as he and his family moved to Ojibwei, Canada. He enrolled in a Catholic school but is notorious because there he has encountered all kinds of persecution, denying him freedom of expression in his own language or talking about his original heritage. But the Indian did not find a chance to escape only get unwanted places and places of entertainment games, especially the game of the hockey, which I love so much.

Indian Horse blunts the edges of a vivid personal drama in favour of an inarguably correct public service announcement.

...a well-intentioned yet catastrophically misguided endeavor...

... for the most part the cast fails to support the weighty material. Still, the essence and importance of [Richard] Wagamese's book - both the brutality and the beauty - shines through, more vital than ever.

In attempting to faithfully adapt the novel's plot, the filmmakers abandon one of Indian Horse's most affecting aspects, its storytelling methods.

Important but not very nuanced.

Indian Horse is a heartfelt, well-acted, and somewhat one-dimensional effort containing a story that needs to be told right now.

Indian Horse endures, and commands attention.
