Takes 6 full hours to tell a story that most films can tell in 2. It gets painfully boring quite alot and Tui is one annoying kid who I suppose we are suppose to feel for but impossible since she's such an idiot. Only for hardcore Elizabeth Moss fans (if they exist).
NETFLOWERS
> **TOP OF THE LAKE** - Finished watching this very satisfying mini-series - Season 2. 5/STARS. IMHO. Season one was about a Paedophile ring in New Zealand, Season 2 is about Sex Trafficking in Sydney, Australia and the suspected murder of one of the trafficked sex workers. Starring Elizabeth Moss, and Guest Star Nicole Kidman. Subplots, sex workers also being used as surrogates for women who cannot have children. GFE. The Girl Friend Experience. Gwendoline Christie a 6 foot 3" female police constable is paired with Elizabeth Moss who nearly steals this TV series and by the end of it, you will be smitten with her character. Nicole Kidman's daughter is friends with the suspected murdered sex worker, etc, etc. Well worth the watch. Written and Directed by Jane Campion. (The Piano).
