Plot

The life of the New Zealand writer Janet Frame, from a poor childhood through misdiagnosis to success.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jane Campion's three-part biography of writer Janet Frame is gentle and moving. Kerry Fox is wonderful, and the film turns a life of hardship and misdiagnosis into a luminous portrait of creativity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
