5 stars (Exceptional) Too few stars available! Should have been on TVNZ already, this gritty moving portrayal of the Kafkaesque "social welfare" system is totally relevant to NZ today. Neither left-wing nor pessimistic, it should be seen by parliamentarians and everyone else ~Sandy
5 stars (Exceptional) ~Regando
5 stars (Exceptional) So true! Every Government Minister should see this film and try to understand the 'Catch-22' situation many unemployed people find themselves in. Will they shed tears while patting their fat wallets? ~Birdwing
4 stars (Very Good) This was surprisingly great. ~Catapillar
