I really enjoyed Whale Rider, and will definitely go see it again.

The movie website showcases the movie well. It basically deals with feminism and how it affects a culture's traditions and beliefs.

It is very well directed, and the performances are tops.... very worthy of all honors it has received, and will most likely receive more.

I will say, I don't exactly think of it as a feel-good movie. It is very emotional, so bring a loved one to hold on to, or some tissue. You don't want to be wiping your eyes with popcorn salt-covered fingers! I NEVER cry at movies, but this one brought on a couple of tears....
