In this gripping drama, Lily Gladstone delivers a poignant performance as Jax, a woman struggling to keep her family together on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma following her sister’s mysterious disappearance.
Jax’s life revolves around caring for her niece, Roki (played by the talented Isabel Deroy-Olson), and every moment she can spare is dedicated to searching for her missing sister. As the powwow approaches, Jax must also prepare Roki for the event, adding to her already overwhelming responsibilities.
Facing the threat of losing custody of Roki to her grandfather Frank, portrayed by Shea Whigham, Jax makes a desperate decision. The pair set out on a road trip across the backcountry, determined to find Roki’s mother in time for the powwow.
What starts as a personal quest quickly unfolds into a profound exploration of the challenges Indigenous women face in a colonized society and an indictment of the broken justice system that often fails them.
Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson share compelling on-screen chemistry, supported by a strong cast that includes Ryan Begay, Crystle Lightning, Audrey Wasilewski, and Shea Whigham.
The film delves into the intricacies of familial bonds and cultural identity and highlights the broader social and systemic issues that impact Indigenous communities. With its powerful narrative and heartfelt performances, this film is a must-watch, shedding light on stories that demand to be heard.
