Mahana (2016)
A wee gem - perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon

If you're missing New Zealand and want an injection of nostalgic Kiwiana, watch this movie.
The cinematography showcases NZs beautiful East Cape scenery, and the main characters are strong without being cheesy. It's an uncomplicated storyline with some excellent acting. If you're into classic cars, it's also a feast of 1950s and 60s cars, trucks and buses
This is actually a complete movie with a beginning, a middle, an end, and it deals with some moral and cultural topics.
It's hard to understand why this movie remains relatively unknown. There are only 6 reviews yet this is a 2016 production. From the same writer, Whale Rider certainly gained more hype and more recognition than Mahana.
Don't miss this one!
