Dances with Wolves
The story is based on a strong relationship between a civil war soldier and an Indian party in long-term military wars. It is the story of a lieutenant in the Union army who travels on a mission to the US border to find a military post. The lieutenant in this land discovers that he must deal with a group of Indians in Lakota, and perhaps it will be quite different under a new deal and another life in a situation that looks like a dancer with wolves.

It has greatness in it. It also has some distinct, even major flaws. But it's rather easy to get swept up in it.February 22, 2013
Dances With Wolves is a clear-eyed vision. Authentic as an Edward Curtis photograph, lyrical as a George Catlin oil or a Karl Bodmer landscape, this is a film with a pure ring to it.January 13, 2014

This collective array of talent has yielded a western that is at once original and traditional. Dances With Wolves looks back to the masterworks of the past and, with its relevance to our present, it deserves to be ranked with them.January 13, 2014
Dances With Wolves runs a fraction more than three hours but justifies its running time.January 13, 2014
A slow-moving but well-acted western.February 22, 2013
Costner tells a personal story that never loses touch with the vast Western spaces encompassing and defining it. Dances With Wolves is an epic that breathes. And it's a beauty.January 13, 2014
The important issues raised by the film- centered on the cultural, racial and moral struggle that took place on the American frontier-are glossed over in favor of a juvenile fantasy of male bonding around the campfire.February 21, 2015
[Dances With Wolves] is so evocative of the sweep and lyricism of the American West that it could be pegged as the cinematic equivalent of a Frederic Remington painting.
