- Fascinating insight into life amongst the underclasses living in the Native American reservations. The performances from the non-professional actors were extremely good throughout.
- Subtitles would have helped, but the ‘Moving pictures’ told an absorbing story.
- Well, I thought life could never get worse for any of them, but then it did. [?] addictive, but I can’t explain why.
- Blimey, I guess that’s what life is like on the reservations that the Native Americans were herded onto. Could have done with subtitles but followed it all. Wonderful ending when Bill stole everything.
- I have heard and read about the grim life the poor Indians have and this film brings home the hopelessness. Some people have a lot to answer for…
- Enjoyable and engrossing – great performances!
- A very interesting picture of life for Native Americans and their fighting spirit.

It would be too easy to dismiss the film as rambling and incoherent in structure and speech. The style in fact reflects the lifestyle of the main characters trying to survive in a hostile world. They are not rootless as there is a tradition and culture which appears from time to time. There is also a sense of community and support as witnessed by the woman taking in the waif even if on her own strict terms. An interesting and good film .
