MOVIE – THE FATHER
6 X OSCAR NOMINATIONS
5/5 stars from James Croot at Stuff

Starring Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman, Mark Gatiss, Imogen Poots, Rufus Sewell and Olivia Williams, The Father introduces us to Anthony (Hopkins) – an independently-minded firebrand, unaware that he is gradually losing his grip on reality.

A man refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
Supported by his loving family, Zeller’s film breathtakingly depicts the jarring shifts in Anthony’s experience of daily life.
The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant – a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.

Mata, Missy and Makareta. Three cousins. Three lives. Separate, yet bound together forever. Orphaned Mata believes she has no whānau and lives out her lonely childhood in fear and bewilderment. Back home on the land, educated Makareta flees an arranged marriage to study law and begin the search for her missing cousin. She leaves behind cheeky yet dutiful Missy who takes on her role of kaitiaki (guardian) of the land. As the years pass and land surveyors begin to encroach, their promise to bring their stolen cousin home seems more unlikely than ever, until a chance encounter changes everything.
Movie – FROM THE VINE
Graham Tuckett Stuff 3.5/5 Stars “Pantoliano’s spiky and layered performance as Marco basically saves this film from itself, with the actor cashing in a few decades worth of roles as a coward and a villain, to flesh the character out into something far more interesting than the self-satisfied and smug caricature that a more obvious leading-man would have located.”
Emmy-winner Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos) plays a man who, after an ethical crisis, returns from Toronto to his hometown in rural Italy. There, he finds a higher purpose: reviving his grandfather’s old vineyard.

After a series of unfortunate events, the kids find themselves inadvertently washed overboard –along with the last of the food supplies! On board a makeshift raft, they are soon joined by Jelly, a chatty, young jellyfish and the trio set sail towards their new fate. But when the raft is buffeted by a violent storm, Finny, Leah and Jelly are plunged into the depths of the ocean, and separated. Leah and Jelly are washed up onto a remote island. Finny wakes to find a strange colony of very familiar creatures all living in harmony –under the shadow of a belching volcano!
In a race against time, tide and the terrifying volcano, Finny must find his friends, reunite with his dad and save a whole colony from destruction, not to mention negotiating a peace deal on a creaking ark and teaching a cranky old-timer the meaning of ‘forgive and forget’.
