Review of Indian Horse

Indian Horse (2017)
7/10
Good reflection on Canadian history but bad acting
6 October 2022
Overall, I enjoyed this film and thought it was a good representation of residential schools in Canadian history. It showed the real events that took place in the residential schools (even the ones that are hard to watch) and showed how trauma like that can be passed down through generations. Three actors had taken part in portraying the journey of Saul's life and I was disappointed to see the acting done by Forrest Goodluck and especially Ajuawak Kapashesit. However, Sladen Peltier, the youngest actor of Saul, did amazing acting and definitely showed that he was relating or trying to relate to what was happening in the scenes. Watching the film, I saw that they did not show enough emotion to what was happening in the film. In general, I was very impressed with the camera, lighting and sound techniques used in this film. Those were all used to create some astonishing scenes that created an amazing representation of the events that were happening.
