9/10
best NZ short film EVA!
9 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, i've seen loads of NZ short movies, and most of them are great - but this tops them all. It totally deserved the Oscar Nom. You'd probably have to be a NZer to get all the little jokes and negotiate the accent, but other than that it's pretty universal. Eg. "Ay, Ed, you're one of them Gay's ay Ed?" "Probably." That's probably classified as politically incorrect, but most good comedy is these days (paging South Park). That fact that the entire thing is in black and white cuts half of the visual side of it clean off, so the film relies ever so heavily on the child actors and the dialog. I won't give a word more of the film away, just go and watch this movie now, so you can see for yourself. (disclaimer: i give it only 9 out of 10 because it may not be to some people's taste, though i find that hard to believe!)
