REVIEW

  • BRUCE R. MILLER bmiller@siouxcityjournal.com

Bruce Miller, Sioux City Journal entertainment reporter, speaks with Erica Tremblay, writer and director of "Fancy Dance." The movie is about a woman searching for her missing sister.

“Fancy Dance” confirms Lily Gladstone’s success in “Killers of the Flower Moon” wasn’t a fluke.

Here, she plays an outwardly tough but inwardly vulnerable Native woman who just wants to learn what happened to her sister. Expected to dance with her daughter, Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson) at a powwow, the woman hasn’t had contact with Jax (Gladstone) for two weeks.
