"Another really great Kiwi movie"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A slow paced but very watchable, thoughtful, realistic story. Another Kiwi classic, albeit a slightly familiar story line. Great new actors – the two lead boys are wonderfully innocent and naive. A must have to add to your NZ movie collection. Shame it's not on blu ray – guess it doesn't rate enough copies sold.

"Excellent service"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'm in Australia and have used mighty ape a couple of times now and have found the service quick and easy to use. Their prices are a great catch too and the professional manner in which they run their business is a credit to them. Keep up the good work guys

Great Kiwi film, may be low budget but this is such a great story it puts most Hollywood block busters to shame!!

Description

Shopping

Shopping is a Berlin Film Festival-winning coming-of-age drama set in 1981 New Zealand.

New Zealand, 1981: muscle cars, racial tensions and a thieving bird all inform the small town life of brothers Willie and Solomon. After a chance encounter with charismatic thief Bennie and his close-knit gang of ‘shoppers’, Willie is seduced into a criminal world that allows him to escape mounting tensions with his volatile father.

But as Bennie’s hold over him grows Willie finds himself in over his head; and when Solomon is left to fend for himself at home, Willie’s two worlds collide with shattering consequences.

Critic Reviews:

  • " An extremely compelling first film with a fantastic lead actor. We loved watching him on screen and felt a deep empathy with him. Sharp editing, strong visual choices and a complex, painful and loving portrayal of family. We appreciated the specificity of the world you brought us into. Your dedication to your vision is palpable. " – Berlin Film Festival Jury
