bitter s Shout out to all the old white man-critics who gave this film a poor score bc they can't wrap their heads around magical realism since our actual reality is so tailored to them that they can't see the point. I love this movie, it subverts expectations, becoming somehow simultaneously more fantastical and more real. The cinematography is gorgeous; costuming, sets, locations: fantastical, appropriate, gorgeous. Like the creators say, it is very much a fairy tale for adults. It centers around one half of a couple who is trying to navigate new feelings and desires that pop up as she attempts to solve an emotionally-charged mystery that disrupts her quiet-ish pastoral-ish life. Charming, surprising, off-beat, emotional, stunning way to explore navigating the changes & expectations of romantic relationships in adulthood. Bonus points for Karl Urban in the bed of a pickup wearing nothing but overalls and work boots. Additionally: Aunties forever. If you like films that don't treat their audience like toddlers but you still have a sense of whimsy, give this a shot. It is a surreal feel-good adventure. Highly recommend.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Modern fairy tale done with a small budget, ingenious camerawork, and an understated classical score. Lovely and strange. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member For a foreign made film, and understanding the people from down under, this was fun and cute. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Continuing with my Karl Urban fetish, this is one of his early films and made in his native New Zealand. As you would expect, the settings in this film are astoundingly beautiful. To say the Kiwi's have a very strange sense of humour is an understatement! However, this film turns out to be a little gem of a romantic fairytale. It had me in histerics on several occasions. Most notably Rob's dog called Nigel, who's agoraphobic and runs around in a cardboard box. We have a new saying in this house now when downing a glass of milk.... 'Bottoms up!!' You really have to see the film to get that one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Some people have problems with this movie because they "Don't Understand It". I personally think it's beautiful, adorable and romantic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
