Separation City

Film (Trailer, Excerpts, and Extras) – 2009

M
Mature

Separation City is a comedy-drama about the complications that ensue as two marriages collapse. Men's groups and midlife crises in Wellington make up the world in which the multinational cast explores "biology and human nature" (as scriptwriter Tom Scott put it). Separation City marked the first solo film script by the ex political cartoonist, who honed his writing skills on a run of TV projects during the two-decade journey to bring the film to the screen. The behind the scenes material includes interviews with director Paul Middleditch, an Australian-based Kiwi, plus actors Joel Edgerton and Danielle Cormack. 

There were a couple of lines of dialogue which betrayed the screenplay’s 80s roots, and they jarred a little for me, but I feel like I’m nitpicking really! Separation City was a generous, healthy serving of much hilarity, and certainly worth the ticket price...
– Reviewer Kate Rodger on Separation City, Newshub, 1 August 2009
