"Sky" tells the story of a woman who, having reached a dead end in her marriage, travels to the states with her husband in order to rescue what's left of their relationship. After an attempted rape she flees however and starts a trip towards herself.
First of all, I've read that people are rightfully upset about the inccorect image of native Americans that is given in this picture. I really know too few about this culture to judge this but I assume that they're right and it is absolutely correct that this is a no-go. If you want to include a culture in your film you should at least do some research and talk to people of the respective background. I can understand that on this basis some people will hate this film and not unterstand what I liked about it. As I said, I didn't even notice the grave mistakes, which is a shame but a fact and so I saw the movie more from a perspective of a lost human trying to find identity and meaning. And in my opinion the film portrays this search brilliantly. You can argue about the plausibility of the story but in the end it remains a very touching plot with many emotions and questions at least I could relate to. It is a rather slow film, a journey rather than a race but I liked the overall atmosphere and the melancholy that was present.
All in all you have to judge for yourself if that is enough to give the film a legitimization despite its questionable cultural perspective. From a strict point of narrative I would say that it is a great movie but I'm even more angry that such errors occure then.
