Visions reveal a priest's plot to silence a woman from speaking about atrocities.

Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

with its pedestrian direction, variable performances and perfunctory dialogue, this is more supernatural soap opera than probing chiller and its bland look... lends the film the undeniable feel of a movie-of-the-week special.

Older than American Sniper too. And despite Bradley Cooper turning up championing Native Americans, this First Nation telling it like it is thriller about neo-colonialist oppression by a Native female filmmaker has been buried all these years as well.

The writing, direction, sound, and basically everything screams after-school special of the 1980's. Even Bradley Cooper seems like a bad actor in this film due to the poor quality of everything else. That basically says enough.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

A movie that tries to tell a very important historical events of the abuse and conversion of the native american people in an entertaining supernatural movie..... it wasn't all that entertaining.

L'argomento sarebbe anche di interesse perchè poco esplorato ed assolutamente interessante; la trama anche avrebbe degli sviluppi tutto sommato ben costruiti. Ma tutto perde di importanza di fronte ad una regia e ad un montaggio semplicemente imbarazzanti. Un film che sembra girato con metodi vecchi di 30 anni, dissolvenze e flashback a dir poco terribili; primi piani da soap opera. Evidentemente una persona che regista non è, ha provato ad esserlo, senza riuscirci nemmeno lontanamente.

151203: Came across this film while attending a Cree Nation awareness course. Decent film featuring many big stars. Done, obviously, on a smaller budget but didn't suffer much as a result.

It's about 2% substance and 98% message, but I can see why that would appeal to some, it's just not really for me.

A very dramatic exploration of the subject of residential schools and their lingering effects.
