A very nice movie. One small anachronism: The movie takes place in 1953, but during the search for the downed plane one of the radio operators refers to Inuvik, which didn`t exist until 1954, when Aklavik suffered a severe flood and the government decided to create a new town at the site of present-day Inuvik, then called East Three.
A beutiful and poignant story. This movie is a great mix of Arctic survival adventure along with meaningful messages about culture, life and death. Annabella Piugattak steals the show with her powerful and sensitve portrayal.
loved it
Excellent portrayal of the arctic but the Norsmean crash was a little too dramatic. No wonder people are afraid to fly in small airplanes. They think the plane is uncontrolablle when the engine quits. Otherwise, the movie was a real joy.
Beautiful and believable. Captured the magnificence of the Arctic and an honest portrayal of Inuit tradition and lifestyle within the context of territorial modernization. Wonderfully acted.
I lived in Kugluktuk, Nunavut for three years and found this movie to be very authentic of what people are like and how they are out on the land. Annabella was fantastic...but the funny thing was she was probably just herself! The tuberculosis thing affected so many...it is so sad that so mant people were forgotten. It was good to see it and feel it instead of just hear stories.
Absolutely Beautiful and breathtaking. Award winning calibre. Brought tears.
Lovely film. Quiet yet grabs your attention. A landscape that is gorgeous, desolate, intense and harsh.
I was enraptured from the moment Annabella Piugattuk entered the story. What a wonderful film.
I enjoyed the story. I fell in love with Charlie after he softened and realized that he could survive with the help of this beautiful woman. It was exciting to learn about the way of life in the North. I would love to see more movies like this one. It was very interesting to see a different way of life and how you can survive from the land. Raw fish...Maybe???
