Shopping
Film (Trailer) – 2013
An extremely compelling first film with a fantastic lead actor. We loved watching him on screen and felt a deep empathy with him. Sharp editing, strong visual choices and a complex, painful and loving portrayal of family. We appreciated the specificity of the world you brought us into. Your dedication to your vision is palpable.– Comment from the Generation 14plus jury, at 2013 Berlin Film Festival
Sutherland and Albiston have written from the heart, and directed with a talented eye, to create a worthy new addition in our cinematic history book.– Sarah Watts, in a four star Sunday Star-Times review, 26 May 2013
... with its period-perfect setting and poignantly funny depiction of brotherhood, Shopping emerges as an affecting, memorable movie that is sure to figure in local best-of-year lists. Highly recommended.– Russell Bailie, in a four star NZ Herald review, 30 May 2013
