    • Mike D'Angelo

      But unlike some previous Sundance movies about Native Americans (most notably 1998s aggressively self deprecating Smoke Signals), Songs My Brothers Taught Me doesnt make cultural identity its primary focus perhaps because its writer director, Chlo Zhao, was born in Beijing. ( Read More )
    • Godfrey Cheshire

      Thankfully, the metaphorical obviousness here doesnt continue, as Zhao quickly settles into a nuanced, unhurried look at the life Johnny wants to escape. ( Read More )
    • Peter Bradshaw

      A deeply intelligent and sympathetic rendering of real life situations, using nonprofessionals playing approximations of themselves. ( Read More )
    • Dennis Harvey

      Less a plot driven narrative than a casual feeling accumulation of mostly small incidents, Songs My Brothers Taught Me isnt about particularly talkative people, which lends real impact to the scripts few late arriving pointed exchanges of dialogue. ( Read More )
    • Stephen Holden

      Because her laissez faire approach makes little effort to fit the fragmentary scenes into a tidy portrait of reservation life, Songs My Brothers Taught Me feels more authentic than if she had chosen to impose a tighter structure. ( Read More )
