Caught this over the weekend off the satellite, and I haven't seen a movie this powerful and intense that stayed with me for a long time. Eat Drink Man Woman was, maybe the last one. Anyway, this film tells the story of a Maori family (New Zealand) that has a drunken, abusive father, a wife that was member of the Maori elite, and the relative poverty they live in with several kids. Normally, I'm not one to watch an "unfun", intense movie such as this one, but it's really worth it to break out of the mold in this intance. Caught it on IFC Channel, check your local listings.
