The Insatiable Moon – review

This New Zealand movie is a heartfelt oddity with some nice moments. Lovers of the 2002 film Whale Rider may remember its star, charismatic Maori actor Rawiri Paratene. Here, he plays Arthur, resident of a homeless shelter in Ponsonby, a suburb of Auckland. Arthur is a sweet, harmless guy who claims to be the son of God; things begin to happen when he finds an emotional connection with a professional woman longing to become pregnant. A pleasant movie, if naive and underpowered.
