Reunion

Psychological thriller Reunion pairs Kiwi actor Emma Draper (Girl vs. Boy) with Brit Julia Ormond (Ladies in Black). Draper plays the heavily pregnant Ellie, who finds herself sharing a house with her estranged mother (Ormond). But in returning to the place where she grew up, Ellie finds the past flooding back; sometimes in terrifying ways. Stuff reviewer Graeme Tuckett called the film "mature, skilfully made", and beautifully shot and edited. Reunion was written and directed by New Zealand-based American Jake Mahaffy. Mahaffy's faith healing drama Free in Deed won a Best Film Award at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.
