I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is the best New Zealand film I can remember seeing. Surely, I have a crap memory, and I can't recall the last NZ film I saw, but I'm sure it was popular and well-received. And yes, I enjoyed this so much more than Avatar!

Lots of great performances from the whole cast, including those from Cameron Rhodes, Ian Mune and of course, Gareth Reeves, as Stanley, a writer haunted by his subject matter and deadlines.

The size of the budget was not visible in the quality of the film, at least not to this average film-goer. It features quality actors, and is richly shot.

Now, I'm not one to tell anyone to support something just because it's kiwi-made, but it is a good kiwi film, a good film in general, with twists and turns, characters you can relate to, and dislike, and well, a little murder. You should see it.
