Review of Whale Rider (2003)

By Jared C (368) on 20 Mar 2009

Beautiful film from New Zealand but I think the story it tries to tell is better than what the film manages to capture. 20 March 2009…

Paka reminded me of my chemistry teacher... And why do they always have to use the same music in underwater scenes? Try to be creative…

Simple retelling of a Maori legend with an outstanding performance by the lead actress as the girl who breaks all tradition to fulfill her…
