A powerful movie! Slow moving to start, but culminating in some deeply disturbing, yet brilliantly crafted scenes towards the end. A strong lead performance from Jeremy Renner and a surprisingly effective performance from Elizabeth Olsen. Yet, more than anything, exceptional supporting performances (many for only one or two scenes) from those actors cast as native Americans, which made for a shocking and moving portrayal of life on a remote Indian reservation. Brilliant cinematography. Welcome relief following a summer of disappointing blockbusters. An early contender for Best Picture.
