"More Than Frybread" is one of the strangest films I've ever seen. Imagine...a mockumentary about a frybread competition among Native Americans in Arizona! That is NOT a topic you'd expect to see in a film! But apparently, the filmmaker Travis Holt Hamilton wanted to make a film about Native culture and decided to do one on the lowly frybread, a staple that Native Americans began making once they were placed on reservations and were forced to subsist on government handouts of flour.
As far as describing the film goes, it's tough and more something you just need to experience yourself. I appreciated how the entire film was done in such a deadpan manner. It really made the film incredibly strange and silly.
Before you decide to watch this film, I should point out that it starts off very slowly and is not an easy movie to love at first. STICK WITH IT....it gets better as it progresses. Besides, it's nice to see a film talk about and feature Native Americans....as very, very few others have in recent years. Weird, clever and ell worth your time....provided you have a high tolerance for tongue-in-cheek humor.
