Winter Love, A

[Plays 5/15 at 4:30 p.m. as well as virtually as part of the MSPIFF41 Film Festival running May 5-19; for more information, log on to MSPfilm.org for full schedule.] Rhiana Yazzie's quirky, low-key, realistic, slow-paced, small-budget, 92-minute, 2021 film in which a struggling 35-year-old Navajo singer-songwriter (Rhiana Yazzie), whose mother lives on a reservation in New Mexico, helps young students in Minneapolis, looks for a meaningful direction in her life, falls for an oddball 25-year-old Lakota law school dropout (Brian Watson) during a freezing Minnesota winter, and finally opens a pie cafe where she can sing and play her guitar.
