Critic Reviews for Empire of Dirt
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (2)
Empire of Dirt tells a traditional mothers-and-daughters story in a new way by making their Cree heritage and the role it has in their lives and relationships the true heart of the drama.
Empire of Dirt is a too-neatly structured look at a couple of First Nations mother-daughter pairs coping with traumas both fresh and ancestral, whose descent into Canadian storytelling clichés is so pronounced.
Empire of Dirt is a simple family drama, but well crafted to fit the story it wants to tell.
[A] well-intentioned and finely crafted drama that explores the legacy of the love deficit created by white government intervention in First Nations communities via residential schools.
...ultimately most successful as a showcase for Gee's thoroughly impressive turn as the central character.
