From giggly teens to a sultry (hey, not my word, it’s on the DVD cover! lol) barely-teen … I’ll admit, sometimes I have to be fairly predictable to get myself back in the movie-watching habit. This movie is gorgeous from the get go, cooling water you can practically feel on your skin in every scene, and I fall for New Zealand accents even when they don’t belong to a pair of eyes like those on Alicia Fulford-Wierzbicki, who pretty much carries the movie on her own. Again it’s a 90 minute wonder, and it has a wonderful soundtrack, most if not all of it by Neil Finn, I didn’t realise until I saw his name in the end credits, all I knew was I was loving it.

It’s fairly uneventful and ultimately fairly predictable – though there is a great twist on the old, “older guy with a camera alone in the woods with an underage girl” scene while the slightly disappointing bulk of the ending transpires in the background. It’s another movie I don’t imagine falling over myself to see again, but for Wierzbicki it’s more than worth the time.
