Title: What a moving and realistic film! Oscar-worthy!
Review: Man - let me tell you, I have never seen such a moving and realistic movie like this before! The acting was excellent for the Maori characters' played in this movie, especially from "Nanny Flowers", Pai's Grand mother! The story was basic and may be seen as slow and a bit strange (compared to Hollywood movies')- but I think it had to, because it was a story about a foreign (to American viewers') culture/tribe trying to survive by selecting a new chief. It is a shame that come oscar time this little film will get ignored, and white americans' will dominate these awards'. Because of this I wish it future sucess!
