Everything We Loved

Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2014

PG
Parental Guidance
I’m fascinated by good people doing bad things. At the start of the film we meet this playful, loving couple — and yet as the story unfolds they do something most parents would find unthinkable.
– Writer/director Max Currie
Everything We Loved had a ground-breaking New Zealand premiere —  simultaneously in cinemas, on airlines and online. As soon as the curtain went up for the cinematic premiere in Auckland and Wellington at 8:15pm on 28 July, the film was also available to watch online at NZ Film On Demand.

With its convincingly drawn characters and in Brett Stewart and Sia Trokenheim, two actors who can do their complex parts justice, this high-end drama convinces on an emotional level ... Entirely in step with Currie's direction, they ensure the story's grounded in a recognizable emotional reality rather than any kind of tabloid hysteria or sensationalism.
– Reviewer Boyd de Hoejj in The Hollywood Reporter, 24 February 2014
It was the first time I'd seen the film with an audience. And when the penny dropped about what was really going on — the secret of the film — I heard people gasp. And the woman right next to me went "oh no". And I thought "great — now we've got them, we've grabbed them".

The role wasn't originally written for a Swede. But Max Currie the director and the screenwriter, when he met me at my first audition, he saw this as an opportunity to create more of Angela's isolation in New Zealand, and the strong feelings that she's going through.
