3 stars (Good Enough) The basic plot idea is quite simple but the excellent screenplay adds a couple of extra layers. To make it work however, and to avoid over sentimentality it needed a performance from someone with the class of Marion Cotillard and she delivers in spades. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Realistic picture of unstable workers' struggles today. Simple story, great acting. The tragedy of NZ today. ~Sandy
