Leave your thoughts about Reel Injun.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA powerful, mythbusting documentary which manages to humanize America's unfairly-marginalized indigenous peoples, albeit belatedly. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)James AdamsEntertaining and informative documentary on how native people have been portrayed on-screen over the years and how these portrayals have shaped native self-perception and non-native prejudice. |
| Village VoiceAndrew SchenkerCombining a road trip from his native Arctic reservation to Los Angeles with an archival cinematic survey, Diamond's treatment of each is perfunctory to the point of inutility. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoExamines in entertaining detail the way Hollywood has treated North American natives going as far back as the days of silent flicks. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA fascinating, well-researched documentary that simultaneously informs and captivates the audience. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsThe documentary ends on a hopeful note, as Indians themselves have taken control of their image. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePam GradyThere are gaps here and there, but it provides a fascinating introduction to a corner of film history that has gotten too little attention. |
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendBut in amongst this collection of white actors in red face, and Sicilians pretending to be native elders, something rather remarkable emerges, the means of resistance and telling your own stories endures. |
| Jam! MoviesJohn CoulbournFor Diamond, Reel Injun is a highly personal odyssey, undertaken in an attempt to reconcile the realities of his native childhood with the natives he saw portrayed on screen. |
| The New York TimesMike HaleAbsorbing and amusing for as long as it looks back at those Hollywood westerns, recounting their sins against American Indians. |
