Review of Sayen

Sayen (2023)
8/10
I liked it. Some authenticity.
26 April 2023
I liked this movie. I was impressed by the use of the Mapuche language, and found the character of Sayen, who trained as a Mapuche warrior as a child, believable. I liked that she seemed like a person a mainstream person might meet in University who was returning to her people. Unlike some Marvel character, this character makes me curious about what is happening with native people in Patagonia. She was sympathetic, as was her grandmother. She showed a range of emotion not usually seen in a woman character, but appropriate for her situation. Namely fierce anger. I would love to see a sequel of Sayen's life in the jungle and her ongoing struggle against the corporate invasion of her peoples' land.
