This year's most beautiful coming-of-age story captures the hardships of two siblings living in an Indian reservation after the death of their father. 18-year-old Johnny dreams of a life outside the community, but doesn't want to leave his sister behind with their alcoholic mother. Realism and sensitivity in a film that bewitched Sundance.
Johnny and his 11-year-old sister Jashuan live with their mother on a Indian reservation in South Dakota. They have an older brother in jail and lots more siblings by an absentee cowboy father they never met, who worked rodeos and had at least 25 other kids with other women! When Johnny finds out he died in an accident, he starts getting mixed up with the wrong side of the law, trying to scrape some money together to follow his girlfriend to LA, where she’s moving to study. Jashuan, not wanting to get left behind with their alcoholic mother, starts building her own future by becoming a local tattoo artist’s apprentice. A disarmingly tender coming-of-age story set against the Pine Ridge Reservation with enough lyrical imagery to remind you of Terence Malick and a young David Gordon Green. One of the films that left a deep mark at this year’s Sundance.
