Dance Me Outside (1995-Canadian) C-91m. *** D: Bruce McDonald. Ryan Black, Adam Beach, Jennifer Podemski, Lisa LaCroix, Michael Greyeyes, Kevin Hicks, Hugh Dillon, Sandrine Holt. Entertaining, likable comedy-drama about two buddies (Black and a fun, comic Beach) among others on a Canadian Indian reserve who respond differently to the ripple of a racial murder in their community. Invigorating direction, amusing vignettesincluding a memorable naming "ceremony"compensate for the absence of a strong, consistent point of concern to anchor the film. W.P. Kinsella's novel was adapted by three writers including director McDonald.
