Aro Favourite Once Were Warriors

 

New Zealand 1994, 105 minutes
Dir. Lee Tamahori
Rating: [R]
Genres: Drama

Topics: Indigenous & Minority Cultures.

 

Aroview: As sensational as it is important, Lee Tamahori's adaptation managed to transform Alan Duff's relentlessly down-beat novel about domestic violence into a slick, highly digestible drama without compromising its integrity, then went on to become a local box-office record-breaker. Exceptional performances, direction and script combine to deliver a film of enormous potency.
