Erica Tremblay’s Fancy Dance shines a harsh, uncompromising, yet tenderly fragile light on life as a 21st-century Native American woman.
This impressive debut feature tracks the tragically precarious lives of 13-year-old Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) and her aunt Jax (Lily Gladstone) as they search for Roki’s mother Tawi, who has gone missing beyond their reservation.
