A movie with real shades of Wuthering Heights, in that every sense of peace given to the film by its association with really nice piano music is challenged by the harshness of the environment and all the main characters.
Where the dynamics, even the validity of every human relationship is questioned and kinship is the sole prerogative of the native New Zealanders prowling in the background.
Still cruelty, that has stolidly maintained its presence throughout, does not rear its head past the front door. Violence in this film is never violence without feeling.
