Sunday Star Times 5/5 Stars. Sarah Watt, “the overall impact of Waru is stunning and it is impossible not to be moved and impressed in equal measure. A reviewer’s work is such we seldom get the luxury of time to watch a film more than once, but Waru is one I’ll be revisiting as soon as I can.”
THE CHANGEOVER is on Saturday 4th at 5.30pm and Sunday 5th at 6.30pm.
Erana James stars alongside Timothy Spall and Kiwis Melanie Lynskey and Lucy Lawless in this adaptation of Margaret Mahy’s namesake novel.
Raglan Movies at the Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan.

From nine female Māori filmmakers come eight connected stories, each taking place at the same moment in time during the tangi (funeral) of a small boy, Waru, who has died at the hands of a caregiver.
The eight stories are all subtly linked and follow different female characters as they come to terms with Waru’s death and try to find a way forward in their community.
