Buffalo Heart

About This Movie

Buffalo Heart brings a raw, visceral energy to the screen that’s hard to shake off. The film follows a young Native warrior, driven by revenge after the brutal slaughter of his buffalo herd by a gang of cowboys. It has this gritty, almost documentary-like feel, capturing the stark landscapes and the deep connection between nature and Indigenous culture. The pacing holds steady, allowing moments of tension to build before explosive action sequences. The practical effects used in the fight scenes feel grounded and impactful, which is a refreshing change from today’s CGI-heavy flicks. While the director remains unknown, the performances are earnest, especially the lead, who channels a haunting sense of loss and determination. It’s this blend of themes—nature, survival, and vengeance—that gives the film its unique flavor.
