Roger Ebert awarded the film 3.5 out ofstars, commenting, the movie offers the most psychologically complex screen portrait of a Native American character in at least twenty years, probably more and those who have undergone such treatment will appreciate how accurately the film portrays the process, never simplifying anything, never going for the easy dramatic epiphany, always respecting how analyst and patient circle around and around the edges of meaning. ........
