It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Jacqui Brown had a good sense of humour, but unfortunately she agreed to work with terrible scriptwriters to come up with this rubbish. It's well-acted, directed, and production values are very good. There are some great cultural references, and if you're a New Zealander then you may appreciate some of the in-jokes with the entertainment community, but New Zealand script-writing for television has always been terrible; and the New Zealand entertainment community has always been about in- jokes that nobody else finds amusing. This is no exception. Completely unfunny, and it was stale humour five years before it was written. New Zealand entertainment has for decades refused to investigate talent, and this is another example.
