very very wonderful movie, one of the best movies I saw this year. I'd love more movies like that-under the radar types that burst with originality and are memorable.

it just won movie of the year here at the NZ film awards, well deserved I think :)
go NZ!

that lil girl is an amazing actor, only 13!

I remember the girl's father from some other movie... 'The Piano', maybe?

Even though it's a remarkable story, Rabbit Proof Fence bored the ass out of me.
