Movie Reviews of Once Were Warriors
Movie Review: A Correct Cultural Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a very correct interpretation of the urban Maori culture based in South Auckland, New Zealand. This film is highly recommended by sociologists. However, it is not a "nice" film and is by no means sugar coated. This film is a realistic movie about the problems the Maori culture encounters on a day to day basis and the family problems they encounter. I strongly recommend this film.Movie Review: No one told me, so I am telling you
Summary: 5 Stars
I've heard so much about this movie. Almost all of my friends have seen the movie and loved it. But no one told me I would cry so hard my eyes would just about fall out. I just wanted to let all the cry babies like me know. You will cry. It's such an awesome movie. Any movies that invoke such strong emotion from a person.. enough to make someone bawl uncontrollably?? 5 stars. Mos' def.Movie Review: Unsparing and unforgettable
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Though the ending is a bit too "Hollywood" for my taste (character stands proudly and makes big speech), it's a minor misstep in what is otherwise a great film--I've seen many movies about family troubles, but few with the depth of character, high caliber of acting, and lack of audience manipulation showcased here.
3.5/4
Movie Review: Powerful! Moving! Emotional!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd seen parts of this movie years ago, which left me in shock then. Now I get to see it entirely and I'm still just as shocked. The anger, the sadness, the love, the dysfuntionality...it makes you mad, sad, and wondering how you'd handle the same situations this poor family suffered and overcame.Movie Review: Emotional
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was an excellent movie. Emotionaly hard to watch at times ,but a true story of what really goes on in life in different parts of the world. I spoke with a friend of mine who happens to be from Austriala who tells me that the parties are a great portrail .
