What a wonderful movie! Clearly Maori, definitely Kiwi but assuredly international in its appeal. There is an ethereal quality to this story yet it is also very homegrown which makes its award attention well deserved. Keisha Castle-Hughes' performance (she was 11 at the time) is powerful and moving (she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar for this, and, if she looks familiar, she was Mary in THE NATIVITY and the eldest Sand sister in GAME OF THRONES). The story is ancient and contemporary at the same time. The allure is "haunting as the song of the humpback sea mammal" (I'm quoting Carrie Rickey of the Philadelphia Inquirer). I was delighted by this film a give it a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Family Drama]
