Four Sheets to the Wind (2007)
Member Rating:  
Sterlin Harjo's gentle coming-of-age drama Four Sheets to the Wind opens in the hamlet of Holdenville, Oklahoma, where a young Native American man, Cufe Smallhill (Cody Lightning of Smoke Signals), discovers his father's dead body. His dad's last wish, it seems, was to be buried in the local pond. Cufe fulfills this request, packs his bags, and heads off to the metropolis of Tulsa, where he sets about building a new life for himself. Above and beyond its dramatic, narrative and aesthetic strengths, Harjo's film retains enormous sociocultural interest as one of the few films by, about, and starring American Indians - a rare feature to concern itself with contemporary Indian lifestyles in lieu of dramatizing Native American histories. Tamara Podemski co-stars as Cufe's sister Miri. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This is a marvelous little film about the renewal of life: Once in a while a good thing happens in Oklahoma . I'm biased, my mom grew up there, and I know some of the state's people. This film captures the countryside and its beauty, but also the trash from the destitution. The film is multilayered, and the interactions among the players are lovely to watch. True, it's an Indie, complete with off -timed looping, but watch the actors especially Cufe. There is a lot of complexity in 81 minutes. I found all the scenes interesting, and not a wastedf rame. The sound track and song cuts are fitting. Not all of us know where we are headed; this film, with its good day ending, shows some folks finding a new path. This is real life for far too many.

Dont rent this movie uless you are bored. lonely, or have nothing else to put in your que.(hard to believe that). I knew this movie was a low budget independent film, and a gamble, but I lost. The acting was barely plauseable and the plot was worse.Skip this one for sure.

Depressing and uplifting at times, the changes in peoples lives both good and bad, and dealing with suicide and death. Not pleasant subjects, but insightful at times. The native American dialog was the best.
