Dance Me Outside
IMDB User Comments: "A story of life on an Indian reservation in Ontario: Silas and Frank are trying to get into college to train to be mechanics but they find themselves having to deal with girls, family... and murder." "This is a really fine little film that far outshines the much more commented-upon Smoke Signals. The dialogue rings true, and the characters are more than 2-D stereotypes. Some serious issues about reservation life are dealt with fairly and honestly, without falling back on condescending plot contrivances." Director: Bruce McDonald (in Canoe) IMDB Dance Me Outside Page. On My Own

"Burroughs, in essentially a one-woman show, stars as the aging, forlorn Holder, who traveled to Mexico in search of love and ended up confronting herself in many harrowing ways. Her letters back home held nothing back, overflowing with metaphor and imagery, as she fell further and further into sexual desperation and romantic despair. A powerful document of a doomed existence — and at times a struggle to sit through." E! Online A+ Review Other Links for A Winter Tan: RepresentationDavid Saunders &/or Caran Sealey |
"In this haunting and complex coming-of-age drama, a 15-year-old student at a boy's preparatory school grows up a little faster as he tries to deal with his own problems and those of his fragmented family. His parents are divorced and since the split, he has become estranged from his father. The trouble begins when he learns that his mother has developed schizophrenia. His reactions to her illness and the changes it brings form the core of this provocative film. — Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide."
