A ★★★ review of Holy Days (2026) This movie has a strange set up: three nuns face the loss of their convent to property development, unless they can retrieve the deeds to the place from the South Island. This involves a road trip in ...

I went to Holy Days - while there's plenty of sentiment and a road trip through New Zealand (three nuns and a boy), I only found it mildly enjoyable, and that came from the interactions between the characters. Plot flaws bothered me.

Selfie of Raven. She has purple hair, glasses and wearing a purple and black shirt with a geometric pattern outside the Longroom bar.

I Tracked Down the Film that Traumatized Me as a Kid, and Found a Forgotten Gem - Reactor Weird, ambitious art — the kind that sticks with you for decades — is always worth searching for.

Lovely essay on @reactorsff.bsky.social by Asa West about two encounters with Vincent Ward's THE NAVIGATOR separated by decades, how memories play games with us and why that thing you kinda remember is worth hunting out.

A ★★★½ review of Shaker Run (1985) Another movie largely filmed in my home town, Dunedin. It's fairly ridiculous, but consistently so, making it a fun watch. Don't expect much in terms of emotional depth, or even dialogue - although ev...

A fun, farcical romp through some classic Canterbury, New Zealand backcountry. Had fun guessing the locations. Rakaia River headwaters and Mt White Station Road. And, inevitably, Castle Hill. But tons that I could not recognize.
