3 stars (Good Enough) As important historically as Utu may be, the film itself is low on production values and really shows in its limitations. Has not aged well at all, and will probably be relegated to the most avid of New Zealand collections. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) When I first saw this movie as a 13 year old it scared the beejeebees out of me - viewing it as a 40 year old, I appreciate the historical value it adds to the richness of our New Zealand heritage. ~KoLLecTor
5 stars (Exceptional) Incredibly entertaining New Zealand epic full of fun and a spectacular cast, Anzac Wallace being the highlight. ~Wizzums
