Broken Hallelujah

I was completely captivated by this beautiful New Zealand film. It's got a dreamy quality and takes you on a journey of three peoples lives which become interestingly entwined. It touches on all areas of your emotions and you feel connected to the characters. I was particularly drawn to the lead actor Greg Smith - he has that warm smouldering star quality that I feel from James Stewart & Jeff Bridges. He gives a grounding and heart to the whole film - I must check out what else he has been in. The cinematography is breath taking. And there is some resonating dialogue at the end from the other main star Vanessa Riddell (who is brilliant - I think most women will relate to her) - she says something like "the cracks and imperfections in life are there to let the light through" it's so true... I left the cinema really moved by this film - soothed, enlightened and inspired.
