Based on the celebrated novel by Richard Van Camp, The Lesser Blessed is an eye-opening depiction of what it is like to be a vulnerable teenager in today's modern world. Through the eyes of Larry Sole, a First Nation teenager filled with bravado and angst, fragile and yet angry, seeking clarity clouded by confusion, seeking to belong without belonging, comes the story of three unlikely friends isolated in a small rural town discovering what they can of life and love amid racial tensions and the recklessness of youth, in a world clouded by a dark mystery from his past.

Hinnangud ja arvustused

An excellent portrayal of life in a small town and the trials faced by indigenous youth. It was dark, yet the small town school politics were vividly accurate. The characters were strong and Native spirituality was addressed through Larry as he found peace with the trauma he had endured.

I watched this movie in a film studies class! It's so great!
