We Were Dangerous

Kia ora. This is an excellent wee New Zealnd film, with great characters. Matron has a Nurse Ratched vibe, and all the cast felt authentic. So often teenagers are written as caricatures, but these girls felt like real people. I look forward to more from these film makers. I'm local enough that family of the cast were at the screening, made it a real Kiwi event!

As far as I know these events are fictional, but the plot was very believable. 1950's ideas about ideal members of society, how best to conform and knowing your place are uncomfortable. Thank the gods these attitudes are a thing of the past.
