Apron Strings
Film (Trailer, Excerpts, and Extras) – 2008
Colour can be the visual equivalent of spice. There’s a great deal of both in New Zealand director Sima Urale’s first feature-length film.– Listener reviewer David Larsen, 16 August 2008
It was selected in the first place because it's such a strong film. It was irresistible to put it in the opening spot when we were celebrating 40 years of the Auckland Film Festival — to be able to open with a strong Auckland film was very appealing to us.– Auckland Film Festival director Bill Gosden on giving Apron Strings the festival's opening spot, The NZ Herald, 6 August 2008
