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.
