Canadian Native actor Adam Beach stars in a new movie, "Now and Forever," [IMDB Entry] that is playing in limited release in New York, New Jersey and Michigan.

Beach plays John, a Cree Indian from Saskatchewan, who is in love with the non-Indian Angela, played by Mia Kirshner. Native actor Gordon Tootoosis plays Ghost Fox, John's father.

Reviewer Dana Stevens calls the movie a "mystical love story" with somewhat stereotypical portrayals of Indian people. She says "the Indian characters are stiff and noble enough to be carved in wood and parked outside a tobacco shop."
