What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are loving Mārama, a revenge story about a young Māori woman uncovering her colonial heritage and taking on the Englishman who destroyed her family. The praise is huge for Ariāna Osborne's lead performance, with the story's originality and powerful visuals getting special shout-outs. While a few found the pacing uneven, that's a minor complaint for a film this well-received. The director, Taratoa Stappard, got a more mixed reaction, but Osborne and the core concept are the undeniable stars here.
