There are very few movies coming out of NZ that are memorable at all, and stumbling upon such a gem is quite a rarity!
I rarely take time to write reviews, but I felt that this movies deserves one:)
There is hardly any fault in this movie from direction and acting perspective, although I have to reckon I have never heard of anyone from the main movie credits... Combining unknown actors with a very simple script is a recipe for disaster, in general,BUT not in this film. I think the charm of the movie comes from kids that are playing their roles just perfect:innocent but responsible when need it.
The last scene of the movie makes you feel that you've just experienced something unique that comes on the screen once in 10 years!
If you manage to get the DVD, invite some friends over and have an '80 night at the movies: all of them they'll feel happy at the end!
