On a final note, the ending was “Stupid”

Not sure why that’s not obvious. But yeah the ending still stunk

To us it was obvious the Columbia was right over the ridge with Washington on the other side BUT even at that we felt totally cheated!!!!!!! I can’t imagine how people unfamiliar with the area felt! We hung in there and enjoyed it BUT GEE WHIZ FOLKS!!!

Agreed! After watching the movie I did a bit of research. The ending was horrible. Based on actual events, it could have been so much more. The Native American did indeed lead them to water. This was an easily discovered fact.

so why leave it hanging like that?

The director could’ve at least made it a little clearer in the film. Missed opportunity on her part.

The story led us to a point then it “cutoff”. Pun intended. The ending was a big disappointment. When I read the actual story on which the movie was based I had a clearer picture of how the story could have ended. The movie left me with no desire to watch any other movies of MS. Reichardt’s.

It didn’t even give us enough information to speculate as to what might happen.
