Not as wholesome or empowering as I think Disney wanted it to be, but there is at least some warmth to the message that it portrays. It's based on the real life Squanto, though apparently takes a load of liberties with his story. I'd expect nothing less truth be told, the point of a film - in my opinion, at least - is to make a good film - therefore truth, which most of the time is more dull, takes a backseat. I'm not saying it's impossible to mix accuracy and entertainment, but I never expect both myself. Documentaries are for accuracy, after all. Cast-wise, I can't say any of them properly stand out. Adam Beach (Squanto) and Mandy Patinkin (Daniel) would be my picks, while Michael Gambon (George) is fairly good I guess. Like most other areas of the film, it is quite average. I didn't find <em>'Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale'</em> slow paced and I do appreciate the message, it's just not crafted together all that well.
