This movie is really powerful and makes you hold your breath for 2 hours.
It's well played and makes you feel uncomfortable as it seams so real (it is somewhere probably real..).
A great movie about how people lives each other differently their culture .
A must for your collection.

I still think this is the best film ever to come out of New Zealand and the Blu ray is fantastic , clear picture and good sound.Warriors is a film you cannot not see a lot of all the time as it wrenchs at the heart , but as a education piece on how not to treat your family or to bring up your children in this kind of enviroment it is a very valuable learning tool which should be shown to young people as soon as they are old enough to know about these things.

This movie is an intense study of sociological dysfunction and race consciousness and how it plays itself out in the daily lives of a family. Without giving up too much info; from the spousal abuse to the neglect of a young boy crying out for attention before his life is destroyed no stone is left unturned.

I actually wrote a sociology paper on this movie it was that deep.

I wish they would make the sequel What Becomes of the Broken Hearted available in the US. Right now the DVDs are only avaiable for play in region 2 (US is Region 1 BTW). >:-(
