Cousins Ratings & Reviews
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
A lovely, moving tribute to the unbreakable ties that love makes, created by some of the best female filmmakers in world film. Te Ao Māori, or the Māori world view, suffuses Cousins.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Cousins can be harrowing as well as rewarding, but it's a small gem.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Riveting and richly rewarding.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It has a sharp eye for subtle expressions of racism and other forms of discrimination and exclusion, but it's also beautifully shot with a melodic score, heartfelt performances and complex interpersonal relationships that will keep you gripped.
Willamette Week
Grace Culhane
At times, the dialogue veers from expository to didactic. Luckily for the viewer, it's also gorgeously shot and impeccably acted, with standout performances by Tanea Heke as older Mata and Keyahne Patrick Williams as a young Missy.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
It's a moving tale, if often a sad one.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
It's not easy to traverse [such] heavy emotions through interweaving crosscuts of three eras, but you wouldn't know it the way Gardiner and Smith deftly handle the journey.
Common Sense Media
Danny Brogan
But the beauty of the movie -- which gives an insight into Maori culture so rarely seen on-screen -- is not so much with the journey, but rather the destination.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Breathtaking! A genuinely heartfelt, captivating and sweeping epic.
New York Times
Devika Girish
The film trembles with sound, color and feeling, deriving much of its power from an excellent ensemble cast.
Newshub (NZ)
Kate Rodger
It feels to me that like films like this one really only come around once in a blue moon.
