starstarstarstar
Niki Caro's touching feminist parable offers a beautifully framed picture window onto a virtually hidden culture. In a remote village on the coast of New Zealand's North Island, the indigenous Maori people lay claim to a fabulous provenance. According to legend, the tribe's founder, Paikea, arrived on the back of a tremendous whale. Ever since, each successive generation's first-born son is considered the venerable Paikea's latest incarnation and is expected to become the tribe's new leader. But when the latest son dies in childbirth, this destiny seems to fall upon his twin: a girl (the adorable Keisha Castle-Hughes). Read the complete review for Whale Rider
