I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Boy

YEAR 2010

DIRECTOR Taika Waititi

STARRING Taika Waititi, James Rolleston, Te Aho Aho Eketone-Whitu

WRITER Taika Waititi

OVERVIEW A young Maori boy moves from his innocent childhood living with his grandmother, to the realization that his father is not what he seems.

OPINION Absolute brilliance. A New Zealand masterpiece. the best story of the nuances of the Maori people, ever told. The directorship is a little ‘locked off’ but this adds to the comedy and caricature-like feel. Waititi is unsurpassed for his subtlety and observance.

RATING YYYYY
