Shadow in the Cloud (R13, 83mins) Directed by Roseanne Liang ½
Third-time really is the charm for Chinese-New Zealand director Roseanne Liang.
In the noughties, she made a splash with her autobiographical documentary
Banana in a Nutshell, while in 2011 she charmed audiences with her
Romeo and Juliet-esque rom-com
My Wedding and Other Secrets (a movie again at least partly inspired by her own relationship).
Now, she’s left a calling card for Hollywood with one of the most exciting and inventive action flicks of the past few years. Chloe Grace Moretz is the undoubted star of Shadow in the Cloud.
