A thundering winner!

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2005)

I was on a flying trip to Auckland NZ - had been wanting to see a film about "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" - it was booked out so settled for "second best" by going to see a very fast Indian indeed. Everything the previous reviewers said is echoed by me, right down to the goofy smile on my face as I walked out of the theater (what is it about US spelling! -- smile not seen since I saw the last of the Lord of the Rings trilogy).
Come on you overseas viewers - it's only been kiwi commentators so far - this film is far too good to be only viewed "Down Under".
Yes it is a kind of Cool Runnings Kiwiana - always good to see the underdog come out on top of the pack.
If you go to this film and don't enjoy it, well, maybe you were born to be a film critic?
