Metacritic
Caro gives the fablesque story -- based on a 1,000-year-old Maori legend -- both a contemporary and timeless quality, anchored by newcomer Castle-Hughes' powerful and haunting performance.

There is magic here, enough to make Whale Rider worthy of the audience-choice awards it has earned at film festivals worldwide.
Connie Ogle
Miami Herald
The rhythms of Whale Rider are hypnotic as the ebb tide, haunting as the song of the humpback sea mammal, bracing as the ocean spray. It's a movie that rewards the patient viewer.
