Another good kiwi flick.

A well made kiwi film doing what well made kiwi films do, tell a story well.The cast are excellent with Rima Te Wiata a standout as matron, and a step away from her role in 'The hunt for the wilder people'.The story is a simple one, without intrigue, car chases or CGI of more modern tales. Without giving the plot away it portrays the late 50's attitudes to the coming storm of the sixties well. Young women unprepared for a more modern life but plunging into anyway, and gaining the sigma of being a 'delinquent'. An older generation struggling to come to terms with this and clutching at the values of church, wedded bliss, government and stern teaching like a drowning man would clutch at a straw.This film won't shatter you, nor test your sensibilities but if will give you a view through the window to a time it's hard to believe was just over half a century ago. How we've progressed?

checks all the right boxes

To engage an audience while exploring the evils of the past is not an easy task, but this film does a nice job. This reviewer, over many reviews, has suggested that the era we live in now is much much darker than most of us can perceive. Historians of the future looking back at the present will use a sharper lens and see things we of the present missed. Faced with such a challenge, WE WERE DANGEROUS chooses to entertain rather than educate. The ensemble cast works a treat and holds the attention. No gratuitously morbid scenes. Just a hint here and there. At one point Matron notes that, just a few years back (from the 50s), the girls might have been lobotomized. Point taken. Well done. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

the build of a Beautiful story

I love supporting local cinema and this movie hit it out of the park!, Great casting (and to find out later that some of the main cast have "Never" acted before is astonishing! A true credit to the casting director) being a stickler for period authenticity I was pleased that every detail of the1950's was on display. The true heart of this story is the hard nature of some of the content regarding the treatment of "delenquent" girls of that time period and the honest and genuine nature of the charectors (yes even "Matron", (what a marvelous actress Rima is!) If you want to watch a movie for its story and not so much the "CGI" "Special Effects" then this lovely slice of cinema is for you.....Enjoy!
