Katy H. @Setsukokate 07/22/2025 Again, another incredible performance done by Michael Greyeyes. Please give this man an Oscar! He’s absolutely incredible and needs to be in more films.

See more wayne m @Wayne93 06/22/2022 WIld Indian is an interesting film, although I think an incomplete one. It has a very interesting premise but I felt lacked somewhat in execution. The film is set in two time periods. Firstly in Wisconsin in 1988 with two teenage Native American boys, Makwa and Teddo. Makwa is bullied at home and school and when a situation develops into tragedy they have to make life changing decisions. Most of the film is set in the present day as the we follow the boys that are now grown men. They have gone in different directions to how you might have expected and they now have to deal with actions from the past. The film is an interesting one but I felt it was overwritten and acted in parts and felt stilted at times. Potentially a good film but one that didn't quite deliver.

"Wild Indian" is about Michael, a Native American who left his reservation years ago. He also leaves the knowledge that he helped cover up a murder years earlier. Time catches up, however, as the actual killer is released from prison. Michael takes matters into his own hands to keep the secret. I feel like this story needed a more fleshed out resolution. Maybe a longer movie would have brought the needed depth. Some good performances, but I wanted more. See more 02/11/2022 Interesting premise, but some parts of the story dragged along.

This is such a good premise that the fact Corbine Jr. couldn't stick the landing may not bother everyone as it did me. There are so many elements that work, but in the end I'm curious what the extended cut looks like. At only 90 minutes, there should have been more meat on the bone. Native Americans are underrepresented in Hollywood and it's too bad. Fantastic performance from Michael Greyeyes, who we need to see more of. If you're tuning in for Jesse Eisenberg, don't bother. He has nothing to do and is in only a few quick scenes. You have to wonder how much of his work ended up on the cutting room floor. Final Score: 5/10 See more Read all reviews
