Response
Andrew Genaille’s sharply crafted writing, coupled with heartfelt performances by both Rain and Arcand, make this stereotype-exploding comedic drama a pleasure to watch for all audiences.
Vancouver International Film Festival
Two Indians Talking” sets the bar high for this under-developed genre by being simultaneously witty and profound, irreverent and thought-provoking.
Jen Hoyer, SEE – Edmonton
I watched the film last night at the Cowichan Theatre and was very moved by it. It was spectacular!! It touched the deepest parts of my soul and is a great inspiration to all people.
First Nation audience member
She [Sara] is one of the few people I have run into that are non-aboriginal that really seems to understand the aboriginal community. She did an excellent job of portraying who we are.
Bill Lightbown, Kootenai Elder
What I like about Two Indians Talking is the humorous tones. What better way to break down the barriers and the walls that we’ve built between us. The truth always packs a punch.
When Spirit Whispers, CoOp Radio
These ‘Two Indians’ reward our patience with a great, witty climax that can’t help but jerk a hearty chuckle or cackle out of us: the last thing we’ve come to expect happens. It glows with irony.
Wrighting about Film
Sara McIntyre obviously has an understanding, love and appreciation for her actors. She lets the story tell itself.
