I just felt like this movie deserved a higher rating than the 2 and a half star average it had. This movie offers something different: both in story and in the visual medium of film (not groundbreaking, per se, but pleasantly different). Sherman Alexie's mind is as sharp in film as it is on paper.

This is a poignant story about friendship, love, loyalty, and identity that offers up many questions without answering a single one. More importantly, it blurs the distinction between self and all of the influences that shape self, forming a troubled and unbreakable bond that keeps us connected even when we want most to let go. And, if the story wasn't touching enough, the poetry and music, particularly Osinilshatin by Michelle St. John, haunts and captivates.

Fancydancing is a deeply human Native American tale of both the struggles of success and the tragedy of oppression. Throughout we are treated to intense music and gut punching poetry. Ultimately we learn that we can never move ahead without leaving a part of ourselves behind.

Slow, inexorable torture. Don't bother renting. This movie has nothing to do with fancydancing. The story was broken up into bits, that never let you explore the characters.
