This 2002 film from Philip Noyce adresses an important film in a suitably verite style, but to be honest it holds little interest as a film.
We have a quick, slightly unrealistic with odd time lapses, (understandably) not very well acted story. It is moving, though there isn't much of a sense of weight behind the emotional moments. The beauty is a bit of an extraneous add on, as is the eagle spirit. This is a nice idea, and deeper exploration of the idea of a 'connection to the land' would have been appreciated.
This is a story that deserves and needs to be told, and we are happy it found the widest audience possible. Just, as a film, not much above adequate.
