A truly impressive feat in Canadian film, especially with its hallmark as the first entirely Inuktitut language film. I didn’t fully understand the plot until halfway through and I felt a lack of engagement with the material, mostly due to my limited knowledge surrounding Indigenous and Inuit culture and history, though I couldn’t help but admire many aspects of this project, including it’s remarkable length for such a low budget, and its success and legacy as the greatest Canadian film of all time. I hope to view more films like this as I work on expanding my understanding of Canadian cinema in the months to come.

Dude pretending to be a walrus at the end reminded me of mankind’s worst creation (Tusk 2014) so this gets knocked down a few pegs

Features what may be the greatest acting stunt ever. I’d love to see Tom Cruise try to fall dick first into freezing cold water and then run naked on top of sea ice for several minutes.

An impressive movie for how low budget it is and how difficult an environment to film they’re in.
