are any of these reviewers Indigenous women? Lakota Sioux women?
This week's @AWFJ Movie Of The Week is the powerful #WomanWalksAhead, starring @jes_chastain and directed by #SusannaWhite. Read what I and my fellow female critics had to say here: http://awfj.org/blog/2018/06/17/movie-of-the-week-june-15-2018-woman-walks-ahead/ …pic.twitter.com/hVmMbdRhXS

Sadly not. Still much work left to do on critical inclusivity. And the issue of Native American experiences being distilled yet again through the experiences of a white individual is something I will be exploring in a longer review for another outlet. Film still has great merit.
-
you should find a Lakota Sioux woman to do that exploration and to review and comment on this film.
-
You are absolutely right in that a Lakota Sioux woman should be able to review the film from her point of view. Just as I should be able to from mine. Film criticism benefits from variety of voices and more needs to be done to enable wider inclusion. Many of us doing what we can.
-
you seen to have industry connections. One thing you could do is try to get a Lakota woman a byline to review this film. That would be using your privilege to leverage for a marginalized voice.
-
I am certainly going to work harder to find and promote those marginalised voices in criticism. Thank you for the discussion.
-
Perhaps this fine discussion will lead to a Lakota female film critic contributing a review of
#WomanWalksAhead to THE FEMALE GAZE at http://AWFJ.org . Meanwhile, diverse opinions on the film are expressed on our Movie of the Week Excelsior! http://awfj.org/blog/2018/06/17/movie-of-the-week-june-15-2018-woman-walks-ahead/ …

Saw it last night. Adding my praise.
#WomanWalksAhead is both intimate and epic. Ultimately heartbreaking. Hoping it finds a wide audience. -
