“Bones Of Crows” (** out of four) was an impenetrable melodrama about a code talker (Grace Spears) who survives a lifetime of oppression and repression in the Canadian residential school system but over the span of 100 years- her and her family vow never to give up the fight for fairness and equity and a better country for all. Gorgeous cinematography by Vince Arvidson and some scattered effective moments are defeated by film’s meandering pace and overall air of solemn self-importance. Even still, this won some awards at the Canadian Screen Awards Festival earlier this year.
