A rectangular image with a review of the movie We Were Dangerous (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Great selected. The review reads: Coming in at 80 minutes this debut from Māori director Josephine Stewart-Te Whiu wastes no time in showing the white people know what’s best for you approach to colonisation, packaged with religious hypocrisy, will stumble when it meets teenage resilience and strong women. A perfect balance between the serious and the laughs in the unique way the kiwis blend them, with gorgeous cinematography and a superb cast.
