The Insiders Guide to Love (2005)
This New Zealand drama unfolds slowly but becomes engrossing
6 July 2006 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
Love takes many forms: unrequited love, dangerous love, the love of being in love, the guy who has two lovers (and children) but can't choose between them.
This excellent drama from New Zealand takes seven seemingly disparate people who are thrown together after a bizarre incident that we get a partial glimpse of at the start. The story, told in flashback, takes a while to unfold, but as the characters are revealed and their lives intersect, it becomes engrossing.
The dialogue is snappy, the performances believable and there's lots of that jerky camera work so beloved of directors after that gritty, real-life look. Can't anyone afford a tripod any more?
