The Unknown Country (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Across the country
Lily Gladstone is one of those rare performers who can convey a lot to audiences even when she does not seem to signify much on the surface. With her own tranquil charisma and presence, she effortlessly interests and then engages … Continue reading
Frybread Face and Me (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): That summer in the reservation
“Frybread Face and Me”, which was released on Netflix in US around the end of last year, is a little but likable coming-of-age drama about one summer of a little Native American boy who becomes more aware of himself and … Continue reading
