75It's an intriguing portrait, but it makes no pretense at objectivity, erring on the side of hero worship.
-
60More hagiography than history, Heather Rae's long-in-production portrait of Native American activist and poet John Trudell has the uncritically admiring feel of authorized biography.
-
No one in the film has a bad word to say about Mr. Trudell, despite his 17,000-page F.B.I. dossier; and by the time Robert Redford assures us that meeting him is not dissimilar to meeting the Dalai Lama, you may feel that all this worship does not do justice to an unusually stormy and complicated life.

25Politics aside, Trudell plays like an infomercial for its subject rather than a serious examination of the man and his beliefs.
