- Quotes
Laura Chant: [narrating] I don't believe in fairy tales. The real world is much stranger than that. I feel in my bones when something bad is going to happen. I can't explain it. It was something I was born with. Like another sense.
Laura Chant: The earthquake broke our city. It broke our family too.

Featured review
Well made film about family and defeating one's demons and controlling your destiny
McKenzie and Harcourt do an admirable job bringing the novel to a present day setting, with excellent award-winning cinematography. Built on themes of the dangers of 'inviting' trouble upon yourself and/or others, accepting yourself for who you are and the 'magic' within you, and sibling bonds, "The Changeover" is a fine addition to New Zealand's growing film history. Excellent performances are provided by Spall and especially Erana James. James is one to keep and eye on for years to come. It's not among the best of 2017, but it's certainly a well-made film worthy of your time if it sounds like something that might interest you.
