Rain

2001

Rain is a 2001 drama seen through the eyes of a 13 year-old girl Janey (Alicia Fulford-Wierzbicki) who watches her family fall apart over summer at their holiday house with her mother (Sarah Peirse) flirting and then having an affair with a local man Cady (Marton Csokas). Janey begins to resent her mother and starts to become insistent on Cady, attempting to get him to take photos of her. Then one day it all comes to a head with a family tragedy. Disturbing drama where the final act is incredibly bleak and the whole movie is hard to watch but the two female leads are very good particularly Fulford-Wierzbicki but the male roles are very weak and depending on your proclivities, the final act might be too much.

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?

1999

What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? is the 1999 follow-up to Once Were Warriors where Jake The Muss (Temuera Morrison) comes back into his family's life after the death of his son by a gang. His other son wants revenge but Jake tries to get his son out of the gang life but it's going to take everything he's got. A big step down from Once Were Warriors but it's not a bad movie, just not as intense or as complex as the original.
