Film Information

Twelve-year-old Beans is on the edge: torn between innocent childhood and reckless adolescence; forced to grow up fast and become the tough Mohawk warrior she needs to be during the Oka Crisis, the turbulent Indigenous uprising that tore Quebec and Canada apart for 78 tense days in the summer of 1990.

Reviews

“If rendering their stories artfully through a camera lens opens just one mind, then BEANS is already an unmitigated triumph.”

Jude Dry
IndieWire

“Deer’s BEANS exults as a sweet debut for both her and Kiawentiio.”

Robert Daniels
RogerEbert.com

“An accessible, unsanitized drama foregrounding Indigenous experience – one that doesn’t hedge on depicting embedded Québécois racism and discrimination – [director Tracey Deer] is staking out a fertile patch of filmmaking terrain.”

Adam Nayman
