    This is a film about anger, shame and helplessness, and it offers no answers, merely hard questions and angry challenges.

    A wrenching, uncompromisingly bleak film, but its stars, who include talented newcomer Noah Watts as Mogie's son and Lois Red Elk as the brothers' staunch aunt, fill the screen with warmth, humor and spiritual yearning in the face of hardship and tragedy.

    Its strength is the documentary-textured depiction of Native Americans in their social environment. Its weakness is a story that's a patchy combination of soap opera, low-tech magic realism and, at times, ploddingly sociological commentary.

    The supporting characters suffer from excruciating one dimensionality since none of them really have anything to do but look forlorn and opine about days past.
