Whale Rider - ****
Destined to become a classic. A must-see for kids of all ages, despite a completely unfair PG-13 rating. Keisha Castle-Hughes completely deserved her Oscar nomination.
A compilation of films viewed and reviewed (i.e., a way to put my college degree to use). Most are written long after the screening took place, so some have more notes than others. Titles in italics are films I've already seen but either screened again for a second look or they're just one of my favorites and I needed to see them again.
