rating: 4 QuoteNew Zealand colonial wars film that had its own "wars".Quote
This historical drama, set in 1860s New Zealand, focuses on the Whanganui River valley
and an Irish settler's seven year effort in trying to find her son, kidnapped by his Maori grandfather.
All this while colonials and Maori are engaged in guerrilla-style warfare. This is probably Vincent Ward's
best film to date and probably the best Maori themed film yet made. The settings and photography
alone are worth viewing, even though the film is not perfect. I was left with the feeling that some further
improvements were needed with editing. But given the many production problems, there may have been
some filming needs that were not fulfilled. Very much worth experiencing.
