FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
thies-2 Guess what... The so called NZ Masterpiece has landed on the 2A$ table at Sam's Warehouse in Australia. Outch ! Request from "Gawkertours": Does anyone know the address of the house ? Surely, is this Dunedin reality ? A derelict place is burning electricity without anyone noticing. A town is switching to "Nuked-by-Neutron-Bomb" status, just because of a Rugby Grand Final. Squatters becoming rich from nowhere without the neighbours dobbing them in to police. Yes, Police. Apart from the Station sign not a single representation of the Force during this flick. The World ends - everybody is racing to NZ as they will not have noticed it...
Elektr0n1k This movie is a bit like a college flick mixed with elements of shallow grave....Both the actors and the story are interesting. I also like the way it's been cut - the story keeps moving and never realy bores....nice movie overall.This is one of those unknown movies you rent on a gamble - most are bad and some shine - this is a definite gem.7.4/10
berchtild Started watching this film a little apprehensive - seemed to be much like other films made in New Zealand. Made you question what you would do in this position, a little slow to start but a very enjoyable film. Must see films for anyone who enjoys New Zealand films such as Goodbye Pork Pie and Smash Palace.
Kiwinick We seem to do brilliant "black" films. This one is no exception. A superb black comedy. The characterisation of all the players is superb... they seem real, and their actions are entirely consistent with their histories as we know them.Often in New Zealand films, they are let down by the production values. Not so here. This film could have been produced anywhere in the world. The editing is adept and crisp, and the cinematography is supurb. Direction is equally taught. I was literally on the edge of my seat during the climax, and my heart rate was elevated for many minutes afterwards.If this is the future of New Zealand film, then GIVE THE FILM COMMISSION MORE MONEY!!!!
