StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

ladybug2535 I enjoyed the main thread which was used to connect the myths of various American tribes, and how the stories were shared. And of course I was thrilled to see Native Americans playing each of the appropriate roles--as well as how they briefly touched on the realities of tribal life (though this aspect was quite rightly very brief, as this was not the focus of the film). I also greatly appreciated the care taken in presenting the authentic and unique garb for each of the various tribes, as well as in how their villages were depicted: Long Houses in the Pacific Northwest, mobile TeePees for the Plains, etc. It was a pleasure to see such a nice range of tribes and their myths. It was also a breath of fresh air, in that it stayed away from the usual stereotypes and tribal tropes (for the most part). I for one, would really enjoy this expanded into a whole series.I had to mark my rating lower than I wanted to, due to poor production values and areas that didn't quite hand together as they should have given the clever way the stories were tied together--but I would rate it as a solid 7.5 rather than just a 7 (yet it wasn't quite an 8 either). I genuinely had no other quibbles.

kandy16ukuk I would certainly recommend this film to anyone and everyone, especially as i've just watched this film and as soon as i'd seen it once, I immediately wanted to start watching it again, it was fantastic. I didn't even realise how much time had past between me starting to watch it and finish watching it. It certainly made me laugh, as well as cry, especially the end after Shane arrives at the Pow-Wow in Alberqueque & sees in the people there, some of the elements of the people in the stories that he was told by his grandfather before he died on the way, then watching him beat the drum to start the storytelling and remembering what he was like at the beginning rebelling against everyone & everything.

b9AcE I always regarded Hallmark as "the TV channel that I can skip over". That is until I saw this movie. I was lucky enough to flip past it just at the begining while I was waiting for my friend to get ready for a party we were supposed to go to. We didn't go. We watched this instead.After having seen as many movies as I (who hardly does anything else) this was a very welcome break from the monotony of the standard portrayal of the native americans. I am not a native american (or even american, I'm european) but still it was very nice to get to see "the other side of the story". Next to the story I need to applaud the many outstanding performances by the actors and actresses, of which regretably none so far is well known. Also to be noted is some exceptional cinematography combined with great special effects (for a TV movie).Great story, which has something to say. Great acting/directing. Great cinematic craftsmanship. What else could be asked from a movie?Had it been produced by a movie theater production company it would have become a huge hit, but unfortunately it will now probably be lost among the TV movie onslaught.If you have a chance to see this: take it.

Biznz The story was very well written and entertaining. The tales from many nations were told, and were the focus of the movie. A perfect family movie that keeps everyone entertained. The messages behind the stories have deep social significance and seem chosen with care. The next best thing to hearing these stories yourself from the dreamkeeper would be to see this movie. The first 10 minutes of the movie seems awkward, but the story gets better. The acting varies from competent to fantastic, but some just seem out of place and stiff. The cinematography is very good and there's many breathtaking aerial sweeps. There were two camera passes right through vehicles from headlight to tailpipe that seemed quite out of place. The Coyote and spider characters enthralled the kids.
