Within a few scenes of this film you sense you are watching an epic Western unfold...and you would be right. A tender portrayal of the Sioux is offered as you watch them develop a friendship with John Dunbar who is a lieutenant in the Union army. He is at the frontier and adores this place and knows it will one day be gone. A wolf seems to want his company and he strikes up a close although unusual relationship with it. Kevin Costner plays Dunbar and directs but as many of you can guess I think the dry narration is unkewl and keeps DANCES WITH WOLVES from reaching the heights of cinema it deserved. [4.8 stars]
