This Town

AroView: Goofy small-town NZ rom-com about a socially awkward man (played by writer-director David White) who finds unlikely romance despite being at the centre of an unsolved mass-murder investigation.

Robyn Malcolm plays the badass ex-cop who obsesses with proving him guilty in what is an unapologetically feel-good send up of Kiwi archetypes, but without much in the way of nuance. Sound-tracked by the likes of The Phoenix Foundation and Marlon Williams.

“This Town is a clever, likeable, well-written and played, and occasionally inspired film.” ~ Graeme Tuckett, Stuff.
