watched this in film class and liked it. this is the story of two very different people and one of the boys father who has died and they are to collect his ashes from a woman and secrets arise and the memories of a troubled childhood and a house fire that started it all. i like the flashbacks that go from adult to boy and back. adam beach who plays the main character victor did a good job and so did the actor who played thomas, he was funny and cute too. one of my favorite scenes was how he had a makeover and then right when he came to the bus he went back to his usual self and put his glasses back on. too funny especially the john wayne's teeth song. irene bedard who was the voice of pocahontas was a surprise and was pretty in this film, no wonder she was i think the model for the pocahontas character in the disney film. this is a good movie so recommend it.

I Also Recommend:
Smoke signals shows our humanity and inhumanity among people. The poem at the end will blow you away! I laughed, I cried, I thought about symbolism in life and love.

I first came across this movie through Irene Bedard's filmography that I looked up at the IMDB website, being curious about the actress and trying to find some other movies that I hadn't come across before nor knew about at the time. Skimming through all the great reviews on this site and IMDB, I decided to check it out. I bought a copy of the DVD from this store about a couple months back and I'm so glad I did. Another reason why I purchased it was because I wanted to see a movie with the cast being a majority of the ethnic group of people we don't get to see often enough and more broadly, and less of the same stereotypically: American Indians. I found it to be truly a breath of fresh air from some, certain movies (which are too dumb and/or negative) featuring my race (black) as the majority cast, which I grew fed up with after a while, wanting to search for more good ones with those and other ethnicities for one thing. Plus, I want to give my support to the better ones, no longer sticking with the same old, same old. For me, "Smoke Signals" was one of the best movies that I never saw when it was first released, which was over a decade ago and I just then caught up with it nearly two months ago. Anyway, one way I describe this it is it's as much of a far cry away from the Native Americans' long, old perspective as it can possibly get, that they're opposing the cowboys in the Wild West. I like how after everything Victor and Thomas have gone through on their road trip, Victor eventually comes to grips with his past relationship with his father and forgives him. And the aforementioned Irene Bedard has a great supporting role. If y'all haven't already, please don't take as long as I did to see it. It's definitely not one to be neglected nor missed. There are no disappointments here at all and is worth the watch. Great to see American Indians in a different light, I hope they'll be more films like it in the future and I wish/hope that all actors/actresses of that race will get more opportunities, success and acknowledgment
within that time as well. Has a very good message in the end.

This is an excellent example of the other american cinema. Great! I think this movie reflects the other facet of filmmaking in America. Lovely movie.

This really is one of the best movies ever made. And the writer, Sherman Alexis is one of the best writers ever.

This movie wasn't a stunning masterpiece like other films I've seen, but it did make you think, which is more than a lot of other more current entertainment is capable of. I would recommend this definately. There's a lesson to be learned.
