Movie Reviews:

• Steve Butterworth: One of my all-time favorite movies. I can’t begin to remember how many times I’ve seen it. And I’ll watch it again. Kevin Costner gives a compelling performance, but so does the entire cast. One gets a great sense of who the Lakota were and are. Respect.
• Gimly: I watched the extended version of this film, and I just have to say, any film that can run for FOUR HOURS and not come out the other end as a boring pile of garbage, is worthy of some pretty serious praise. That said, _Dances with Wolves_ is not really in my wheelhouse, and although it held my attention I can’t see myself probably ever watching it again. Costner knows what he’s about, and that’s great, but a four-hour film about American history with strong romance elements is never going to blow me away.

  _Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
