Lou Diamond Phillips stars as a young Inuit Eskimo who is coming of age and coming to terms with the encroachment of the white man.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Four sex scenes without nudity, but with lots of groaning and moving under covers. We also see the birth of a baby, but it is mostly under wraps.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A fist fight between father and son and two murders -- one by knife during a fight and one by a gunshot in the back; some blood in both. There are several disturbing scenes including a bloody fight with a polar bear and a bloody wolf attack in which a character's face is bitten. Also, a whale hunt with spears.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, prejudice, alcoholism, suicide.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - 5.7.5
Abigail - 1.9.10
Sasquatch Sunset - 8.7.0
Sting - 1.7.7
