Pike River Ratings & Reviews
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Based on true events, Pike River can get a little hokey, and the pacing is sometimes sluggish. However, this drama about the legal battle over New Zealand's 2010 Pike River Mine explosion has meaningful performances and empowering messages.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
A horrific case of negligence and endless coverups that cost 29 lives and devastated hundreds.
MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)
Alise Chaffins
The shift in focus means much less spectacle, but a deeper, more heartfelt story that gets to the center of what it means to be left behind following a major traumatic event like this.
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
a showcase of great acting, gorgeous visuals, an emotional portrait of two individuals and a depiction of a friendship strong enough to stop Goliath from going about business as usual.
Crooked Marquee
Josh Bell
A worthwhile personal journey even if the larger purpose remains unfulfilled.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Although the film's underdog trajectory is familiar, focusing on the emotional journey of the two persistent yet otherwise unassuming crusaders at its core keeps its righteous indignation from feeling heavy-handed.
RogerEbert.com
Cortlyn Kelly
The magnetic chemistry between Lynskey and Malcom, complemented by the lived-in, authentic costuming and production design bolster the movie overall.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[A]s admirable as the filmmakers' intentions may be, the actual telling of this tale feels like a long trip to nowhere.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Branyan Towe
Pike River features amazing performances from Melanie Lynskey and Robyn Malcolm but this powerful story is nearly undone by writer Fiona Samuel's ending.
InSession Film
Zach Youngs
Add into that two powerful and stellar performances and you've got a very intriguing watch that will keep you glued just to see what possible wriggling these corporate and political goons will come up with to leave their promises unfulfilled.
Mac the Movie Guy
John Stark
Pike River is a heartbreaking true story wrapped as a film that celebrates resilience and committing to doing the best for the ones you love.
