It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I've just watched this film, and it was an overwhelming experience. Haida Gwaii is a gorgeous archipelago, and the film shows us all its beauty, the sad past (so much taken away from there) and still a hopeful future . It compels us to make our contribution to nature by showing us how many people from several professions (and age and ways of living) made their choice to live in harmony with the environment in this amazing little place. It matters the decisions that every day ordinary people face. It matters political actions, which companies we support financially through our consumption. It is all reflected on this community, and we can see how everything is all connected in the end.
