Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

castofj There are many, many moments that knocked me for deadThe opening sequence had me squirming in my chair, it goes on so long - and I was holding my breath! The final scene is stunning too. Perfect, perfect way to end it - it doesn't tie it all up neatly but allows the experience to live on denying easy consumption and easy answers!I love that pink Balaclava too!and so many great details through it - anyway don't want to spoilbut i can say that I loved the circularity of its narrative structure and the recurring images that come back distorted - That whole party sequence - brilliant Anyway i guess I was expecting a low budget fairly straight gritty drama but instead was bowled over by a brave, untidy, deeply disturbing, beautiful trip - yes brilliant stuff but imagine some will hate it, not get it - PITY!

thewalkermoon Simply put this film is a gem and hopefully will find a deservingly wide audience. I found it tough at times but was involved for the whole film and surprisingly found myself rooting for the main character Gary (wicked performance by Gareth Reeves) even though he did something that really disgusted and appalled me. i couldn't stop watching... In fact I thought that all the performances where great. I loved Ian Mune as Gary's dad and the little actor who plays Laughlin Gary's nephew. Rarely for a kiwi film there is a sophistication and irony at work in the film, layers of ideas and social comment interwoven in the scenario. Interested to see where the director goes with his next feature. Great.

tanekeol Wow! I was really caught offguard as I didn't expect this movie to be so moving and well told as it hadnt gotten cinema release here in NZ. The performances and direction where excellent and loved the soundtrack. Gritty and Super tense. That pinnacle moment of the main crime is fast and unexpected making me angry, confused and shocked. Gary's whole life is so awful and so real that I can't help feel for him and his terrible situations and be touched by the simplest achievements amongst the scourge surrounding him. A great, sad little kiwi drama that will rival any films in this genre, anywhere in the world. hopefully the film will get out there now! It deserves to be seen by all! I will be telling my friends and family to see it that is for sure.

fiercedragons A SONG OF GOOD is a small low budget digital film from New Zealand that probably wont see the light of day in the UK but this is a deeply moving powerful story that deserves to be seen. It is the story of a young man struggling for redemption in a society that couldn't care less.I was really surprised how moved I was by the main character Gary's plight especially after the disgusting senseless crime he commits but I was with him the whole way and that is a major achievement. I was especially touched by Gary's relationship with his nephew, Laughlin?...The performances and direction are all round great and the touches of dry black humour and irony throughout where a surprise considering the tone and situation but still strangely worked somehow.And i really liked the use of sound design.I will remember some of the images and moments for some time to come I think.
