5.0 out of 5 stars Based on a true story!, June 13, 2004

By A Customer

This movie was based on a memoir by Olive Fredrickson, a woman who lived through the depicted story and much more. She wrote the book when she was an Elder. Raised her children alone in the North woods after her husband was killed. A terrific story, the movie was almost superficial compared to it, but, well done.

Fantastic moveie, Tom Skerrit as a younger man, and Ellen Burstyn give wonderful acting. The song and soundtrack are wonderful, featuring a beautiful song called "Come The Time"
Terrific photography of the Peace River District in B.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silence of the North, July 17, 2000

By	Deanna (Havre, MT USA) - See all my reviews

A captivating movie which features two people trying to make a living in the early days of the frontier. One man's dreams and a womans need to believe in the one she loves, makes this an intriguing and soul-stirring movie. The hardships they have to overcome and the constant nomadic lifestyle they lead, gives the viewer something to identify with in this forever changing world of ups and downs. Adequately named, this movie "Silence of the North", gives us an insight to what the early settlers had to go through and how they survived and overcame the obstacles that was presented before them. Definitely a 5 star movie.
