Unevenly directed by first-timer Rosemary Riddell (from her preacher husband’s novel), this is DIY filmmaking with more passion than finesse – but it’s original.
Another reminder of the quality of Kiwi filmmaking, Rosemary Riddell's adaptation of her husband's work gives this all the emotion and feeling of a family affair. Real and rewarding.
Energised, thoughtful and charming.
A pleasant movie, if naive and underpowered.
The marriage of fantasy, humour and tough subjects doesn’t always come off, but it’s something out of the ordinary.
Wonderfully strange New Zealand drama.
There's an amateurish, community theatre vibe to this well-intentioned but simplistic, naïve, occasionally dubious New Zealand comedy-drama about faith, God and mental illness.
