Review of Whale Rider (2003) by Doctor S — 11 Mar 2009
Simple retelling of a Maori legend with an outstanding performance by the lead actress as the girl who breaks all tradition to fulfill her destiny. Her ultra-strict grandfather is such an asshole about adhering steadfast to those traditions that I was hoping someone would knock him in the nuts with a ceremonial staff.
Guaranteed to be 20 times more worthwhile than 'Free Willy.'.
