Sunday

Sunday opens on what appears to be a couple in a physical and emotional paradise. This atmosphere is soon completely shattered; we have been watching a flashback. No longer a couple and separated by distance, Australian Charlie (Dustin Clare) arrives in Christchurch hoping to win back Eve (Camille Keenan) and contend with the arrival of what usually is considered a bundle of joy.
Throughout the film we are not treated to grandiose scenes of adventurous and comedic wooing but instead revel in the reality of the characters situation. It is easy to relate to them because the actors play them with such honesty, we often find ourselves siding with one but also understanding the motives of the other.
Shot in an earthquake ravaged Christchurch; the terrain also adds an element of either hope or impending disaster. You’ll just have to find out!
3/5 Stars
