Watched this film at last after all these years .
Brutal drama dealing with the ups and downs of a maori family who are part of a struggling community Drinking Sexual and domestic abuse drug taking all play their part in the film It paints a bleak picture of hopelessness.
I Thought it was hard going at first but the acting is desperate and deep Alcohol is a drug that has destroyed the normal lives of this community and others and this shows how the lives of once proud loving people that are trying desperately to hold on to their identity Beth and Jake are a powerful couple This film is definitely worth watching .It mirrors a lot of communities where alcoholism and poverty leads to horrible scenes .
It is a powerful film and disturbing.
