Once Upon a River

This was a gorgeous little film that was done, with a tremendous amount of heart. It was well written, very well directed, the soundtrack was good, cinematography was lovely and the entire production held together very well. One could tell it was a low budget film, yet for me it felt very coherent and sincere.

It was a somewhat tragic story yet it felt hopeful. Kenadi DelaCerna was absolutely fantastic as the lead, as we're John Ashton and Tatanka Means. Some really stand out performances. I highly recommend this film, it is a little slow and it does meander a little bit, but in the end I found it to be quite a compelling story. Very true to life and the kind of (non amusement park ride) film Hollywood does not create anymore.
