War Pony

Very nice debut by actress turned director Riley Keough. Very believable acting and most of them never acted before! Especially Bill is a very well working character, despite possible initial prejudices that might arise seeing him drive around like a thug. I think they’re just being themselves. Really liking the naturalistic style and i’m hopeful that Keough will build on this in the future: we can’t have too many naturalistic movies, in my opinion!

Telling the story (and succeeding) in my favorite style: close to the skin, every scene is about life instead of a plot, and the context is tangible and specific to time and place. Invites me to want to know more about the Lakota and the history and current status of it's people - not the most cheerful subject.
