Lily Gladstone is back, and stronger than ever. Her latest drama, “Fancy Dance,” has been released on Apple TV+ and rapidly become a worldwide trend.
Directed by Erica Tremblay in her feature narrative directorial debut—known for writing “In the Turn” and season two of “Reservation Dogs”—the film has been widely applauded by critics.
They praised Gladstone’s impressive performance and highlighted the movie’s importance in showcasing the reality of Indigenous women in contemporary culture.
‘Fancy Dance’ ranks #2 on Apple TV+ worldwide
Lily Gladstone turns everything she touches to gold because she is gold. Thus, it’s no surprise that “Fancy Dance” is currently ranked as the second most-watched movie on Apple TV+ worldwide, according to Flix Patrol.
It’s very likely to reach the top spot in the coming days. Its main competition is Mark Wahlberg’s “The Family Plan,” an all-time favorite on the platform, but it may soon be dethroned by the power of Gladstone’s drama.
After the disappearance of her sister, Jax and her niece Roki must stay together. Desperate to preserve what remains of their family, they flee from justice and embark on a road trip to the Grand Nation Powwow in Oklahoma City.
While Jax continues to search for her sister, she also helps Roki prepare for the upcoming powwow, a gathering with dances held by many Native American and First Nations communities. “Fancy Dance” deeply reflects on Indigenous culture and its impact on those who grow up within it, especially in our modern world.
The “Killers of The Flower Moon” actress is accompanied by the spectacular Isabel Deroy-Olson in her film debut. The rest of the cast features performances from Shea Whigham, Audrey Wasilewski, Ryan Begay, and others.
