Reunion
When Ellie (Emma Draper) returns home, heavily pregnant, she is reunited with her estranged mother, Ivy (Julia Ormond).

A gripping psychological thriller from SXSW and Venice Orizzonti winner director Jake Mahaffy, REUNION stars Julia Ormond and New Zealand’s own Emma Draper, Cohen Holloway and John Bach.
Critical Reviews:
“4/5 stars. A a mature, skilfully made, beautifully shot, edited and designed film” - Stuff.co.nz
“4/5 stars. A haunting portrayal of a family trapped in secrecy” - The Daily Dead
"(Emma Draper and Julia Ormond’s) performances are excellent. They convey a lifetime’s worth of history with just a few caustic looks"; " The kind of intimate familial horror that resonates in any era. It pairs well with contemporaries like Ari Aster’s Hereditary, Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook, and Natalie Erika James’ Relic. It’s incisive, observant, and makes its characters earn their catharsis." - Cinapse
