As a film spotlighting Native Americans -- a group largely underserved by movies -- "More Than Frybread" is a welcome change. Go to Full Review

Faded F @FlowerFading Jan 10 This movie is food for anyone with a Native family line who has lived the ache for a taste of the bread we call fry. If you are tired of the really negative stereotypes and want something wholesome with less language inappropriate, that the entire family can kick of their shoes and enjoy together this is it. We laughed and along as we got to know the characters and stayed through until the end. If you are a fan of films like Strawberry Mansion, Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre I think this film will not disappoint. Also if you are interested in quality historical films with Native American/Indigenous real life stories The Chickasaw Nation has made some incredible films that you can view online. I hold Chickasaw ancestry. Te ATA, Montford Chickasaw Rancher and Pearl. I encourage any of you who want to be inspired about the obstacles that can be overcome in a life these are incredibly made. No matter your background you were placed here by a Creator who wants you to shine; so do it!

Almost immediately we start to appreciate the characters who will later compete against each other. I can go no farther without admitting that I am not from a native tribe. My tribe carries the Star of David but I have a great love of native culture and currently possess an impressive collection of Hopi, Zuni, and Navajo belt buckles collected over the past forty years. It is very hard to do comedy, but this endeavor succeeds admirably. The drama builds beautifully until the riotous conclusion. As a result of watching this enjoyable film I came to better understand native culture. I know that you will find this film well worth your time. You may even try to make your own frybread after watching. See more 03/24/2020 I really bought this as a documentary until the little details started getting weird. It's a romp, and a commentary on people's need for validation, much like the dog show movie of several years ago.

A lot of Native films are so serious, this was a nice breathe of fresh air! See more 11/16/2013 Should have been edited down to 50-60 minutes; racist ending was kind of sad.
