The deeper strength of Smoke Signals rests on the sensitivity and truthfulness of Farmers performance as the ebullient, self-hating alcoholic father, and that of Irene Bedard as the young woman he knew in later life.Full Review
What's truly remarkable about Smoke Signals is the depth of the narrative, a touching tale of self-discovery.Full Review
And that's the surprise of the movie, beyond even the humor and humanity of its inside look at contemporary American Indian culture. It's really the oldest and most primal story forms, the one about the old man and the boy.Full Review
