    Unexpectedly Captivating

    My husband picked this film and it was totally not what I was expecting. I was totally captivated after the dramatic opening scene. What a wonderfully told story which is based on a true story.

    I had no idea this actually happened and it's incredible these young people were so courageous to do what they did. The story was brilliantly told and the actors knew what their characters needed to say.

    An impressive film well worth the watch 10 stars from me!

    Enthralling

    Praise to the cast, crew and all involved with this little gem of a movie.

    The story had me captivated from the first moment, really drawing the viewer in to the tightly crafted screenplay. A joy to behold.

    Such a significant part of New Zealand broadcast history, but also radio broadcasting generally. A must watch!

    Music is so important in all our lives and this movie hits the right note.

    Thoroughly recommended.

    A true New Zealand Gem

    Loved this NZ made movie, didn't have any expectations, so was pleasantly surprised by this gem. It had a bit of everything for me, adventure, humor, romance, and a good story line.

    Loved Matt Whelan! Good to see a mostly New Zealand cast.

    I can see why this film is winning International Film Awards. Would be nice if it got the same recognition in New Zealand. The movie left me feeling good after wards and made me appreciate that we can now listen to any music station we wish to tune in to, thanks to the determination of a few very brave Radio Pirates. This movie definitely has a very New Zealand flavor which is very refreshing to see.

    Next need to watch!

    A true story told in a very 'real' manner and enjoyable to watch! A must watch for all, as not only does it display an accurate account of New Zealand's history, but also gives the audience an insight into our 'kiwi' ingenuity and perseverance! A classic movie with spirit and soul!!!

    Fantastic film

    I was not prepared for the visuals this movie offered. Nevertheless, I absorbed it in its full glory. It was easy to enjoy this movie not only because of its visuals but also because of the quirkiness and lovable characters. A must-watch! Amazing story, very original and authentic.
