Some movies make a lasting impact. No matter what, there isn’t a week you don’t think about them. Erica Tremblay’s “Fancy Dance” is one of those films. The drama, starring Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson, powerfully depicts a tale of loss and the strength of relations while also delving closely into the matter of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), an issue that’s largely ignored. With its remarkable cast and emotional writing, “Fancy Dance” is a touching must-see.
The film takes place on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma. After her sister goes missing, Jax (Lily Gladstone) must step up and take care of her niece Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson).
