PG No Notes
Home by Christmas sees Gaylene Preston returning to the hidden stories of ordinary New Zealanders. Inspired by attempts to get her father Ed to reveal his WWII experiences, this finely-balanced docu-drama moves between three strands: Preston's father (Goodbye Pork Pie's Tony Barry, in a Qantas award-winning performance) retelling his story; recreations of Ed's wartime OE; and life for the woman he left behind in Greymouth. The dream cast sees Preston's own daughter Chelsie Preston Crayford playing Preston's mother Tui, alongside Martin Henderson. (NZ On Screen)
Rating: PG - Contains low level offensive language.
Production Year: 2010
'A bravura performance by Tony Barry is woven together with WWII archival footage in this touching Kiwi memoir.' - Variety
