Great to see NZ scenery as a star in the movie as well as bush craft recognised
Local huts look authentic and I glimpsed an echo of early NZ classic Crash Palace in the final scenes of the film
Expression a ‘Mangaweka mile ‘resonated as that’s where my father was born
Does any country really like their social services?
Nice dry local humour and terrific performances from the two leads
Universal themes and local colour make a Very satisfying mix
