Review: Great movie - Very hard hitting movie. Very emotional .
Review: Amazing movie! - What an incredible film. Great acting overall, and some not bad acting from the younger or less experienced cast members. Such a raw emotional film that pulls you in different directions giving you high highs and low lows. A bit of a rollercoaster ride but that's what a good drama does. I love this film.

I really enjoyed this film and would purchase again if I had to. This reminds me of the old days when we would watch Moari films and be fascinated with the stories and culture.
