Alexie, Sherman

• Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, The (1993)

  [6/10]

  "Alexie uses graceful images and often poetic prose to describe reservation life."

• Smoke Signals (1998)

  [8/10]

  "Smoke Signals succeeds on many levels: as a coming-of-age movie where two young men learn that they have more in common than they thought; as a road-trip movie; as a light comedy; and as a portrait of Native American life. Alexie successfully weaves these aspects together into a story that you can watch again and again."
