    (prefacing by saying I blame the script and there are good qualities of this film! I just don't really talk about them)

    I have been so edged!!! My heart is breaking writing this review… everything was so perfect.. the mise en scene was beautifully dizzying… but it did not take it home. I’m going to try and justly articulate how I have been sooooooo cinematically edged (but the movie didn’t justly articulate Shelly so what do I owe it!!)…

    Shaking on the bus home (dramatic I know prepare for sap) 
    So beautiful, it caught Wellington in such an intimate way you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. A beautiful movie creating connection from connection film bro  x New Zealand worlds colliding etc the intricacy of capturing the house under the narrated fiction from reality spilled out and you guys I spoke to her afterwards the Janet Frame book that spoke to her the most was Faces in Water guys that book means so much to me

    Lizzie has reported that the Christchurch mentions are NOT canon!!

    The plot could have done with some refinement and you have to look past (some of) the RNZ performances... still so many important ideas and so much beauty brought to a big screen. Haven't had chills from a choir like that since Glee
