      Dennis Harvey Variety Pleasant but awfully thin... Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It’s a film which can’t quite absorb the intense seriousness of its final moments, but a sweet-natured entertainment nonetheless. Rated: 3/5 Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International A vivid, affectionate but unevenly structured semi-autobiographical snapshot of a brief but important moment in New Zealand’s cultural history. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Morris Yang In Review Online Ogilvie returns with a personal tale that’s quirky as much as it’s wry, empathetic, and quietly moving.
