We tend to think of New Zealand as a pristine, egalitarian country. As shown in "The Justice of Bunny King", this is not always the case. The protagonist is a woman who's spent time in jail for defending herself after her husband attacked her, and now isn't allowed to see her children. With one bad thing after another befalling her, she resorts to desperate measures.
In response to the previous reviewer who complained about Bunny's abrasive personality, just what do you think that you'd be like in her state? A movie doesn't have to make everyone "likable", especially when someone goes through what Bunny does. Spending your life in poverty and not being allowed to see your offspring would turn anyone nasty.
Anyway, a fine movie. Essie Davis played the mom in "The Babadook" and Thomasin McKenzie played the girl hiding in the apartment in "Jojo Rabbit".
