Movie Reviews of Price of Milk, The
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies ever
Summary: 5 Stars
And with a yummy-licious lead actor. One of the greatest things about this movie is the way it was made. Director Harry Sinclair (Isildur from Lord of the Rings) picked some music. Then he found a location. Then he got his actors. And they made up the script as they went along-but you can't tell! The actors are so wonderful that they were able to go along with whatever Sinclair wanted, and still make it work. Absolutely lovely location, perfect music, and a great story. The characters are awesome-two young lovers (Karl Urban-sigh, wonderful man-see him as Eomer in LOTR) who are off their rockers, an agorophobic dog (one of the best parts), a gang of giant Maori faries, etc and so forth. Its set in a valley where magical things happen, and you most likely will need to watch it several times. But thats okay, because besides the great New Zealand accents, you will be laughing, crying, and hoping for a fairy tale ending. (Note, one person called it the Princess Bride on acid, and I do believe that was accurate-its utterly fantastical)Movie Review: A quirky, fun Kiwi romance worth the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember hearing about this film when it came out in 2000 mostly because the two leading actors, Karl Urban & Danielle Cormack, were frequent guest stars on "Xena: Warrior Princess." Although a fan of both stars and their native New Zealand, I never saw "The Price of Milk" then; and it disappeared from memory until a recent Karl Urban movie kick. What a mistake on my part! This is a delightful, charming film with excellent performances by both Urban and Cormack set against stunningly lush New Zealand scenery. Be warned that this movie is not a straight forward romantic-comedy (which is truly part of its charm); it is part fantasy, with elements of magic and local folklore that you would never get in an American film. It also deals with romance beyond "happily ever after," exploring what happens when an established relationship starts to lose its spark. In the end, if you are looking for a wonderfully endearing foreign indie film, give "The Price of Milk" a chance to win you over. You will not be disappointed!Movie Review: Charming

I could throw some adjectives at this movie, but I doubt it would work. It's as if Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Jane Campion had a dairy-based love child and put it on Prozac.
If you are not currently in a happy relationship, watch with caution.
The commentary track is of the 'crawl inside the filmmaker's head' variety (as opposed to the 'look at our special effects' variety).
Other points:
Full of Russian orchestra music!
Karl Urban has been added to my Amazon wishlist, but they say he's backordered. He's like a dimply funny R. Feinnes.
Agoraphobic dog in a box!
Quilting!
Character named after fruit flies!
Movie Review: Quirky Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Friends recommended The Price of Milk, with caution. "Wierd", "strange", "remember it's a fairy tale."
Well, I absolutely L-O-V-E love this movie. Not only do we get to see the usually serious KARL URBAN, (Bourne Supremacy, Chronicles of Riddick, Lord of the Rings) being cute, silly and romantic, but we get a smart, quirky, beautifully visual film as well.
The sound track is STUNNING and I purchased it immediately.
Watch this film and escape from the real world for awhile. You won't be disappointed.
Movie Review: Excellent choice!

I just saw this movie and it overwelmed me!It shows what can happen when some people don't think sensibly. For on thing, but it's a beautiful story. And some of the best actors you could ever hope to meet. Lucky for me, my mother wanted to see Karl Urban, so I got to meet him at a convention, he's a really sweet man. And when I saw the preview for this movie, I thought to myself, "what the heck is that about?" - so I had to get it, and I believe it's worth twice the amount you pay!
