Review: The Tender Trap is a warning against finding love in strange places
Review
Ten years on from the incident that landed Sharon Armstrong in an Argentinian prison, The Tender Trap tells the story of her romance scam.
In April of 2011, Sharon Armstrong’s story was under scrutiny from thousands of New Zealanders. With her mugshots plastered all over the news here and abroad, the 53-year-old found overnight infamy after being arrested in an Argentinian airport on charges of trying to smuggle 5kg of cocaine in her luggage to London.
In a time when online disinformation has never been more of an issue, The Tender Trap makes for somewhat uncomfortable viewing. Rima Te Wiata’s portrayal of Armstrong’s descent from a loving, present nana and whānau member into a distanced, lonely woman falling for an online scam feels disturbingly familiar.
