“Adolescent rage reigns in MUNKIE as Rose cooks up a scheme for revenge on her overbearing parents. Things don’t go as planned, though, and her plan to scare them straight goes from bad to worse in this angry and precise crime thriller from director Steven Chow, a first-generation Chinese New Zealander. With a powerful sense of place and purpose, Chow demonstrates himself as a talent to watch.”
