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

    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.

    It will open your eyes to a culture that most people don’t know much about. There is a great deal of insight in this movie. Slow at times but overall it wasn’t bad.
