Kirsten was 15 when she starred in this and shows her acting chops at this tender age. Great Canadian scenery is the real "star' and makes one wonder how they hauled all the rigs thru those mountains! A feel-good story with a feel-good ending. So, why not just enjoy it with your claws withdrawn. The Native actor, Mister August Schellenberger (he's half Mohawk), has a resume as long as the Empire State building is tall....and just as impressive. R.I.P., sir! A well-spent 90-somethng minutess....entertaining, for that's what movies are s'posed to do = entertain, eh, wot?
I've seen True Heart on TV and I think it's fine. It is a family movie, and like most of family movies this one tries to give you moral values, and it's fun. It's pretty fine for me. I liked this movie because of the ecological sights and also because it's an innocent movie, good for kids. Kirsten Dunst is great as one of the lost kids in the forest.
The story is about two kids that have a plane accident. The plane crashes in a forest. After they find out the pilot was dead, they meet a native. This native and his friend bear help them to find the way back to civilization, but some hunters want to ruin their plans because they want to kill the bear. It's basically this. I give a 6 out of 10.

I tuned in and i thought that it was going to be a bad film, but i was miss lead by what i had red about. I have to say that however great an actress Kirsten Dunst is, she seems to have the same type of emotions in every film that she does. I though Zachery Ty Thomas was a great asset to the film and overall it was very enjoyable to watch.
Totally worth watching 8/10

Anchored by the performance of Kirsten Dunst and Zachary Ty Bryan, this plucky tween adventure provides solid after school thrills, with a good dollop of lessons on top. Lost in the wilderness, two kids find adventure, becoming involved in an illegal poaching scandal. Might provide nostalgia for kids raised during this era, and should still play well for current generations. Adults aren't apt to find a great deal to latch upon. Nice, but not much more. Never really lands where it aims. 5/10.
Siblings Bonnie (Kirsten Dunst) and Sam (Zachery Ty Bryan) are flying to Vancouver on a small plane when it crashes. They survive and is found by Khonanesta, a native protector of the bears. He warns them of bad men, poachers out killing bears. He guides them to a nearby logging camp but are constantly hunted by the poachers.
The basic problem is that the poachers have no reason to kill or kidnap the kids at the beginning. The story has to be written better. Khonanesta might be better as a guardian spirit. It's that unreal and it would be more compelling. The poachers don't make sense. Then the cops and parents arrive. Nobody really makes much sense. They barely have a gun between them as they ride into the woods full of armed poachers. The guns always jam as the poachers get mauled by the bear. It's just a lot of bad writing.

- GoofsWhen the two kids cut themselves loose from a rope tying them back-to-back to a tree, it's obvious that they could have easily wriggled free from under the rope. It was loosely wrapped around them as they sat with their backs to the tree, nothing else was tied, not their hands or feet, so they could have easily gotten out from under it.

Khonanesta: [telling story] Bad men know old wise one have strange sister. Fur like winter grass. She not smart. She do what she wants, like this sister.
