Harsh C @H_A_R_S_H Apr 19, 2025 Quirky Kiwi family drama set in the 80s. Most of the story, including the violence, is sanitised to the point of cartoonishness, helping to keep a positive vibe rather than sinking into despair and helplessness.

The New Zealand locations are beautiful and home to very real characters. Good deep laughs and emotion in this genius film.

Progressively, the film loses some of its steam as it arguably focuses a bit too much on the money subplot and, even in its crucial character moments, feels a tad too tame. Still, the contrast between the idealized version of Boy's dad and reality is quite resonant. See more Read all reviews
