The Fast Runner

Jesse: A bit long at two and a half hours--but that's the worst I can say. Inuit seal eaters may turn you off, but these savages retain quite alot o wisdom and pride. And they filmed a darn good movie!
3.7/5

Beth: i spent the first 2/3 of this movie very confused. Someone was murdered, I think, and then there were a bunch of men who all looked vaguely alike in their furry parkas and long hair, but who I was supposed to be able to tell apart. the filming initially seemed so elementary with its up-close shots, like a student film, and that irked me a bit, as if little fingers were poking at me. But eventually I started seeing the film as a tale told from a distinctly non-hollywood point of view. Then I began appreciating the lack of pretense in the camera work. Some women were introduced, and I finally started getting into the story. Two and a half hours later, I was still awake, appreciative of my warm bed and the fact that I don't have to eat seal fat to survive. i truly don't know how these people live in the cold like that. brr.
