Absolutely stunning. Having been one of the first major New Zealand fiction films I have seen, I was not sure what to expect with this film. It turns out, despite the muted approach, the film takes you deep into the heart and soul of every single character. It's nearly perfect, every shot, the casting, the literary references - a visual cameo of the best pieces of film stitched together with a blaring Patti Smith chorus in the background. This is one of those films that successfully stays with you after you leave the cinema. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to you. 9.4/10.
