Watching because I read and re-read this book as a kid. Lent it to my friend and got in trouble when her parents read it.

Eh. I wanted to like this more than I did.

Glad to see some Native American representation in Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon) and Russell Means.

And Cynthia Stevenson is always welcome on my screen. Makes me think fondly of Dead Like Me. I like the way she portrays women in complex circumstances who are messing things up but trying, in a way that feels really familiar.

Didn’t love the way the romantic angle started, but it seems to play out okay.

This is a movie? I'll have to watch--I wore out the book back in the day.
