Synopsis

In this revealing study of Norval Morrisseau, filmed as he works among the lakes and woodlands of his ancestors, we see a remarkable Indigenous artist who emerged from a life of obscurity in the North American bush to become one of Canada's most renowned painters. Morrisseau the man is much like his paintings: vital and passionate, torn between his Ojibway heritage and the influences of the white man's world.

Reviews

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
