5 stars (Exceptional) Very interesting and moving especially if you are interested in NZ art & literature. The best NZ film of 2017 - completely unique. Destined to become a classic. ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) A no-frills South Islander. She brings you back down to earth - she is what Kiwis think they are but after witnessing her life story we realise how frivolous, materialistic and meaningless we have become. ~Tubbs
