While set as a Western, shot in an awesome location in New Zealand, it's more of a character piece. No gun blazing here. It's the end of the Wild West era 1925 with Horses giving way to cars. A rancher and his brother are on a cattle drive. They meet a window and her young awkward son. Soon she marries the gentlemanly brother and moves to the ranch. Where they are tormented by Benendict Cumberbatch's character. At his awesome best in a more different role for him as a complex bully, mancho man exterior with a hidden depth to him.
Definitely an intellectual film with many layers and aspects to it. A lot of questions hinted at for the viewer to fill in the blanks. By the end it's a simple story told very intricately. Some great actors and beautiful photography, this will hold up well to repeat viewings.
It is very slow going to the payoff at the end and isn't the sort of film that will appeal to everyone. If you appreciate good acting and storytelling though check it out.

The pictures can tell the story and goes along with it. Your children learn along the way with it. It great for beginner readers. The pictures are quite nicely down and you can enjoy the pictures and so can young children.
The book does teach about the festival and teamwork and community. It is a sweet book and you do see Brother and Sister's little sister Honey.

Two things I loved about the series was the love story and how the story deals with the main characters emotions. For example, how it shows you shouldn't bottle your emotions up inside. My favorite character's in it would probably be her younger twin brother William and sister Claire. I also liked Brooks as well.
I 100% recommend

And the fact that I can summarize the plot in one complex sentence like that tells you about all you need to know on this one. The characters are out of character (all of them, not just Brian), with Trixie being at her worst. And the two plots? Neither carries the book and both are rather disappointing. There are a few fun character moments, but that’s about it.
