A film made with love. It's heart is in the right place. Beautiful locations. The two leads are very good. It is a little dull. A lot of trudging around. There's some sort of pirates in the third act but they're not in it very long.
It has an achingly painful subtext because you know Manganinnie's whole tribe is going to be wiped out. Yet the story on screen lacks drama - it needed another character or something. And it felt like a cheat somehow that Manganinnie could return the girl at any moment.
Full of beautiful moments like singing for the dead girl. But there aren't enough of them.
