Frances Morton Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Daniel Borgman has an eye for the visual poetry of his medium and his directorial debut shows great promise but eventually gets bogged down by the earnest weightiness of the script. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Good performances and visually beautiful. But I had no clue about, what the fuck was going on..... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Typically dark NZ social drama that weights the spirit down and drags you to an unsatisfying conclusion in which nothing is resolved. Great acting but overall effect is dire. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
