Must See Movie...

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Best movie ever!

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Other than a particulary creepy turn by Timothy Spall and a decent lead from Erana James this really is very average. First half of the movie is encouraging when Spall (who is has some sort of mortality to maintain and possesses children to continue this) has the upper hand over Erana and the little boy but tails off badly from around the time Erana James starts the process to become a witch via a secret coven of her boyfriends family. The boyfriend is a witch apparantely? I didnt know guys could be witches Latter stages of the movie it gets batshit crazy. Spall gets dissolved with Erana using some witch trick. Anyone watching for Melanie Lynskey beware, she has limited screentime (15 mins). Lucy Lawless was in the movie, I barely recognised her. She played one of the witches.

I really went in to watching this film with high hopes. Teenager discovers she has hidden powers and tries to rescue her younger brother. Story starts off well and had my interest for about 30 minutes in and THEN it fell flat. The actors are actually perfect but the movie tried to form chemistry between the main actor and actress in a way that did not fit with the movie. There was a lack of build up for the audience, I kept waiting to be amazed while the main actress discovers herself but truth is she remained boring until the very end. This movie could have been great, may be lack of funding but something was wrong so therefore i could only give it a 3/10.

A 5 on a 1-10 scale of watching something while bored. It has some interesting parts, but it's certainly not something I'd be yearning to see. Like I said above....if I'm bored, and I have nothing to do and I want to watch a movie, then if all the movies I really want to see aren't options..... out of what might be left, I'd give this a 5. Maybe 4. But I'm giving it an overall of 3 which might be a little generous right now. It did have a few unexpected interesting & scary scenes though. Many things to say, but I don't want to want create any spoilers.

This was a great film, so imaginative just loved it. I could relate to the story line very well. I also really enjoyed that it was shot in Christchurch post earth quake, what a perfect back drop. This film has a beautiful cinematic presence, weaving the story with the images is great film making well done. The lead actress is just divine to watch, it's great to see strong woman in film this delivered.
