WHEN LOVE COMES, directed... This intelligent New Zealand drama takes on the great joys of life--friendship, sex, and love--and explores the ways that they can become the great pains of life as well. WHEN LOVE COMES, directed by the acclaimed Kiwi auteur Garth Maxwell (JACK BE NIMBLE) tells the story of 6 good friends--singer Katie, her gay best friend and roommate Stephen, former hustler Mark, hedonistic rockers Fig and Sally, and Katie's admirer, Eddie. A drama of emotional complexity and humor, this film is warm and engaging even while exploring heady topics. [More]

  • Six different friends. Three kinds of love. In this cutting-edge drama from award-winning New Zealand filmmaker Garth Maxwell (Jack Be Nimble), washed up singer Katie ("Once Were Warriors'" Rena Owen) struggles to create a new life for herself while coping with yearning admirer Eddie and living with her best friend, Stephen, who's in love with sexually confused ex-hustler Mark. Meanwhile uninhibited band members Fig and Sally yearn for success--and each other! Funny, touching, and insightful, this honest and sometimes twisted tale exposes the complication brought about by love, friendship, and desire--not necessarily in that order.
