I LOVE this movie. Brings me sweet thoughts of nature, and my home New Zealand.

@thrainful

It's about a Maori girl growing up in modern day New Zealand, dealing with the intersecting worlds of her culture and the encroaching changes the modern world brings. And whales are also in it as a sort of symbol of the past. Or something like that. It's been a while but I really enjoyed it.

[thrainful]

One really extraordinary movie;)

@thrainful So I am a huge Dead Can Dance fan, love Lisa Gerrards' Voice...so damn...calming yet haunting at the same time. Before i pick a copy up of this movie can some give me a rough idea of what it is all about? rather hear it from a fan of the movie than imdb and their pretentious remarks.

[thrainful]

@Lorielknight I only watched it because of Lisas voice in it......I think that without that i wouldn't like it..So watch it and let her voice to take you up to heavens!!!!!!!!!!;)

[RanaRandom]

can someonekindly write down what she's chanting?

[greetingsfr0mdaveXD]

@RanaRandom i cant really hear it but the part she keeps repeating is: ko mounga ki runga i a mounga e, toi, toi, toi a..... sorry im only just learniing maori at school but mounga means mountain and Toi is one of the maori ancestors. Just been to Whangara Mai Tawhiti Marae.

[RanaRandom]

[milliebbit]

I have watched this movie over and over again and every time I fall in love with it even more

[1sweetsin]

look at 1:07,in the movie she got a bug on her neck lol

[frozendragonfire1]

Haunting. Heavenly. Elegant. Mysterious. Beautiful. Magestic. And these are just but words that can't fully describe this masterpiece.

But it's just what Lisa Gerrad does: Create music that words cannot sum.

[mandolinut]

We should all pay attention to the symbolism of the story. I loved it. I could have been a whale rider :0)

Keisha Castle Hughes was nominated for an Oscar for this beautiful film which I love

[darysons1]

She deserved the nomination. She was incredible and truly beautiful. Awesome film.

[MajesticWolfRunner]

this is a good movie, it was made by the people who made winged migration

[chisu55]

I, for the love of me, cannot remember if this was an IFC movie or not. Who ever produced it, thank you. It was truly inspirational.
