3/5 One of the best opening scenes ever
  by M. Arave
For Redford's debut film, this was not a bad effort. The plot is average and so is the acting. But it is a 'cute' film that contains (I think) one of the best opening scenes ever done. If you haven't seen it before it is worth the entire movie. Enjoy.

5/5 Fiction is often closer to the human spirit than non-fiction
  by Michael A. Nelson (Here)
Beside the location, rural northern New Mexico, which I enjoy, this film combines multiple techniques to get the viewer into its theme and spirit. For some, the visualizations and conversations of the old man may be a detriment, but for me life has much that is mysterious and this element added to the story. I also like to see films where the acting is more important than the recognition-factor of actors.

5/5 good story telling
  by Eva D. Wehrle
A wonderful story, well told. Captures the beauty of Northern New Mexico, the truth about the people of the land and just a good tale. The native tale mixed with a reality of changing society. Great video to watch and ponder.

5/5 my favorite movie
  by Kelly Dolson (Washoe Valley, NV USA)
This is my favorite movie of all time and was pleased to find it at such a low price. I've had it before on tape, but now that I have a DVD player and recycled my VCR, I wanted a copy to share with my son. A must see, feel good movie from the 80's.
