Hook, Line and Sinker

Film (Full Length and Trailer) – 2011

M
Mature

PJ (Rangimoana Taylor) has been driving trucks for 35 years. But one day after a medical test, he is told to get off the road. PJ’s worries over becoming instantly useless are exacerbated when his partner Ronnie and Ronnie’s ambitious sister go into business. A tale of love, family, and ordinary people struggling to process the type of news none of us ever needs to hear, Hook, Line and Sinker is the second, semi-improvised feature from longtime collaborators Andrea Bosshard and Shane Loader. The Dominion Post called the result “likeable, admirable and hugely enjoyable”.

... offers highly engaging performances ... Hook, Line and Sinker exudes a generous and very real warmth.
– Helene Wong, in a Listener review of the film
