My Rating : 7/10
The film follows Janet Frame from when she grows up in a poor family in New Zealand's South Island, through her years in a mental institution, and into her writing years after her escape.
Jane Campion does justice to Janet Frame's legacy and her casting and direction is precise. The story is told calmly and draws you in to the world and mind of Janet.
