Moviegoers are saying
Mārama emerges as a groundbreaking postcolonial gothic horror that channels righteous rage against cultural appropriation into a visually stunning but polarizing debut. While audiences praise Ariāna Osborne's powerhouse performance and the film's unapologetic Māori perspective, many find its sparse narrative and deliberately challenging approach leaves them wanting more substance beneath the striking imagery.
