James & Isey (2021)
Cheeky and vivacious, 99-year-old Isey Cross, a Maori, lives with her devoted son James, on a farm in New Zealand. To celebrate reaching her 100th birthday, James organizes festivities and brings the spirit world onboard. In this intimate doc, director Florian Habicht captures the pair's devoted bond and their infectious joy. Only the truly stone-hearted could resist this celebration of love and whanau (family).

    a gem

    I absolutely loved this film from start to end (be sure to stay right to the very end). It is interesting, heart warming, uplifting, and just so enjoyable to watch. Just like Isey and James themselves this film is a wee gem.
