Critic Reviews

A thought-provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior whose frankness is his greatest weapon.Full Review

Erin Meister
Boston Globe

It's an intriguing portrait, but it makes no pretense at objectivity, erring on the side of hero worship.Full Review

Walter Addiego
San Francisco Chronicle

No one in the film has a bad word to say about Mr. Trudell, despite his 17,000-page F.B.I. dossier; and by the time Robert Redford assures us that meeting him is not dissimilar to meeting the Dalai Lama, you may feel that all this worship does not do justice to an unusually stormy and complicated life.Full Review

The New York Times

More hagiography than history, Heather Rae's long-in-production portrait of Native American activist and poet John Trudell has the uncritically admiring feel of authorized biography.Full Review
