I loved it! J. Chandler's and J. Russell's characters have haunted me for 30 years.
20 January 1999 | by (Pasadena, California, USA) – See all my reviews

For the era of filmmaking, I felt that the subject of racial/cultural discrimination was handled well. Also, the director/writer explored the character, Dartland's, self-loathing and fear of being rejected because of his Native-American heritage -- all this intermingled with his life that is based on secrets, the desire to belong to an acceptable social class, dealing with a flourishing career, and the strained marriage with Russell. Loved it!
