Shout out to all the old white man-critics who gave this film a poor score bc they can't wrap their heads around magical realism since our actual reality is so tailored to them that they can't see the point. I love this movie, it subverts expectations, becoming somehow simultaneously more fantastical and more real. The cinematography is gorgeous; costuming, sets, locations: fantastical, appropriate, gorgeous. Like the creators say, it is very much a fairy tale for adults. It centers around one half of a couple who is trying to navigate new feelings and desires that pop up as she attempts to solve an emotionally-charged mystery that disrupts her quiet-ish pastoral-ish life. Charming, surprising, off-beat, emotional, stunning way to explore navigating the changes & expectations of romantic relationships in adulthood. Bonus points for Karl Urban in the bed of a pickup wearing nothing but overalls and work boots. Additionally: Aunties forever. If you like films that don't treat their audience like toddlers but you still have a sense of whimsy, give this a shot. It is a surreal feel-good adventure. Highly recommend.

such a funny,cute,corny movie! fabulous! Love Karl & Danielle!!

Modern fairy tale done with a small budget, ingenious camerawork, and an understated classical score. Lovely and strange.

For a foreign made film, and understanding the people from down under, this was fun and cute.

Continuing with my Karl Urban fetish, this is one of his early films and made in his native New Zealand. As you would expect, the settings in this film are astoundingly beautiful. To say the Kiwi's have a very strange sense of humour is an understatement! However, this film turns out to be a little gem of a romantic fairytale. It had me in histerics on several occasions. Most notably Rob's dog called Nigel, who's agoraphobic and runs around in a cardboard box. We have a new saying in this house now when downing a glass of milk.... 'Bottoms up!!' You really have to see the film to get that one.

Some people have problems with this movie because they "Don't Understand It". I personally think it's beautiful, adorable and romantic.

i like this movie a lot the price of milk is a real good movie to watch from gabbye.

You'd have to be in the right, whimsical, frame of mind to fully appreciate Harry Sinclair's The Price of Milk, but if you are there's a small, largely unheralded treat in store for you. Adopting an impish sense of magical realism, and most definitely not to be taken completely seriously, the film merges the flights of fancy of a Shakespearean myth with doses of wry Antipodean wit, and its lavish, sweeping classical score performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra adds an unusually dramatic air to proceedings, as does the sumptuous rural imagery by lensman Leon Narbey.

This film created one of my most favourite characters in films: a dog in a box.

I watched this for Karl Urban, straight up. This was weird in a bad way but also a little charming... I just didn't like how the woman went from normal to crazy-bitch and then back again. I also liked Karl Urban's lack of voice when he's upset.

Aww this movie was pretty adorable and quirky. I love the car accident scenes, especially the one near the end (that sounds awful but you'd have to see it to know what I mean). If you're a Karl Urban fan at all, you should see this.

It started off cute enough, but then it got too weird.

I like Karl Urban so I gave this movie a shot, but it was so unorganized and didn't explain important parts of the plot enough.

It was a quirky romantic comedy indeed. With a spontaneous group of actors, this movie held it's own. This movie is not recommended for all but it is well played Kiwi (New Zealand) movie. If you like this film I do suggest watching another movie with Karl Urban called "Out of the Blue" made in 2007.

Bizzarre and made very little sense, no transitions in plot and ultimately one of the most confusing movies I'd seen on Netflix this summer.

Quirky much in the fashion of Burton's Big Fish, this romantic fairytale might get nowhere near its spiritual successor in terms of the quality of acting, but it certainly has some magic of its own. When I hear Roger Ebert saying that the place of magic realism is not on a farm in New Zealand or with this story, I have to disagree. The cows, the breathtaking NZ lanscapes, the rural, slightly altered state of reality - and somehow Harry Sinclair (that guy you saw for a few moments, playing Isildur in Lord of the Rings) manages to make it work. Plot in short? Oh, the trials of love... They may not make much sense at first, but then, at the very end, all the loose threads of the storyline come together to form a perfect, warm... quilt.

An imaginative sweet love story, involving diary cows in New Zealand, milk, an Indian wedding, 'the Jacksons' etc. Harry Sinclair wrote and directed this gem, exploring true love and forgiveness. Karl Urban and Danielle McCormack are great as the couple in love, experiencing the 'fairy tale' trials and tribulations of love.

Watching it kind of feels like being in a dream/nightmare. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is interesting to look at, and if you embrace the weirdness, it's quite enjoyable.

OMG it's Shota and Karl Urban! Quirky, but probably the most illogical film ever.

1.5 stars for the cute, agoraphobic dog. Absurd storyline, but not in a good way. Disappointed to see that the Magical Negro and her giant, weird family have made their way to rural New Zealand.
