 Wild Indian Review

 
If you would like to read my Spoiler-Free updates, please follow my blog :)

Since this is an Indigenous film and the first feature of Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr.'s guide, I really didn't know what to expect. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than I expected. The Wild Indian takes a painful, dark moment in the first phase of the life of the two characters and follows an unusual way of showing how amazing the future of a person can be, especially considering the young personality. Everyone changes their parts throughout life, even more so during childhood and adolescence.

Despite the slow pace of the whole - slower than I believe it is - a successful "twist" immediately raises the level of interest in the main story, which takes time to overcome the formation of a basic but well-crafted character. After that, Michael Greyeyes and Chaske Spencer brought their A-game, bringing in an impressive performance that kept me investing in the story. Grayyeye may show the main character and have more screen time, but Spencer steals the brightness with an emotionally damaging display.

The first solid episode from the author’s director to look into next year, but I can’t escape my main problem with the middle actor. Or I fully understand the comments of Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr. which successfully conveyed to viewers about many important issues, I could not communicate with the main character, rather much. It’s a frustrating feeling to have, but I find Grey’s character very unpopular not only because of his past actions but especially his current attitude. On top of this, Jesse Eisenberg’s choice of imitation sounds inappropriate and bizarre, to say the least.

Well shot by Eli Born.

Wild Indian is a solid starting point for a series of essays from Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr., which I recommend following closely over the next few years. Boasting a compelling story, Michael Greyeyes and Chaske Spencer take viewers on a dark, emotional voyage to understand that life is not always good and that fixation only works for people who can feel guilty or remorseful. Both actors offer remarkable plays, but it is Spencer who really touches me emotionally, suggesting the only character I really cared about. The main character, on the other hand, is an incomparable person who tries his best to forget the past with sad actions. Jesse Eisenberg sadly comes out like a sore thumb. Short working hours compensate partially for slow travel, but overall I still have a good time.

Rating: B-
