    Nice story, but some plot is too annoying

    Life in south Auckland has plenty of stories like this I'm certain.
    A touching story on the whole but a few chapters of behaviour I can't stand. I guess kids will be kids.

    This movie so reminds me of home and what its like to grow up in a close knit maori/poly community, the feasts for our elders and daily visitations to the family lol, this film was definitely a reminder of that. Ruby Dee portays her character so well as she does in all films, Xav...( read more)ier Horan and Mia Blake are continue to up their game in the acting world, Tumeke!

    A unique and heartfelt drama with some great pieces of acting and a fantastic fight scene to the song "Bathe in the River". Ruby Dee performs amazingly as the matriarch of the family.

    The matriach of the family calls for a feast to name her successor. Its a movie that many polynesians will relate to growing up in New Zealand. Incredible Film!
