Featured review
An older Julia recounts her encounter in depression era Canadian prairies. Julia Creath (Alison Pill) and older brother Daniel live with their parents on their farm. Their father is building irrigation despite the drought. Paleontologist Jack McCabe (Simon MacCorkindale) arrives from the government offering $500 for a whole skeleton. He is opposed by creationist Reverend Smythe (R.H. Thomson) but the townfolks are eager for the money. Then Hump Hinton (Christopher Plummer) arrives with the mysterious Amba offering double the reward.
This is a very small Canadian feature about the discovery of dinosaur bones in the prairie badlands. It moves rather slowly. It's an old fashion family film. The villain is broad. The story is piled high with a dead baby and epic rains. There are interesting actors. It could have worked better.
