New Zealand Comedy
Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows, Jojo Rabbit) produces a homegrown comedic romp. Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beek star/direct a charming, unique picture about two women who help other people break up with their significant others. Laugh out loud funny from two lesser-known New Zealand talents. 7/10

Movie Favorite

"And that suggests another favorite film of mine, Army of Shadows, which in a way uses film not for a psychological study of a political question but really for a philosophical study of a basic human (as well as basic political) question: the question of killing. At any rate, I think Army of Shadows upset me more than any film I’ve ever seen. This one also deals, like Au revoir les enfants and Lacombe, Lucien with World War II. A leader of the French Resistance has been betrayed to the authorities by a young informer. The leader was arrested but has escaped, and now he has the young informer in custody in a small house. According to the rules of the Resistance, he and the three men working with him have to kill the young informer. I’m still upset when I think about that movie. It’s profound."

Oh my word ... what a story!! I don't think there are adequate words that capture adequately how I felt about this book and how good it was ... it was absolutely gripping and I was rivetted from the very first to the very last word ... and it's inspired by a true story.

To Dream of Shadows is a powerful story of survival, loss, resilience, hope and the power of friendship and love; it is a difficult book to read in parts but I was absolutely gripped and devoured it in quick time and have no problem recommending this to those of you who love getting totally immersed in a wonderful book that will have your emotions in tatters and your eyes glued to the words.

Many thanks must go to the author, Steve N Lee, for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of To Dream of Shadows.
