Adapted from the award-winning novel by Margaret Mahy, The Changeover is a collaboration between first-time director Miranda Harcourt and writer Stuart Mackenzie. Set in Christchurch, New Zealand following a devastating earthquake, Laura Chant (Erana James) and her brother Jacko (Benji Purchase) come across a shipping container, inside they find a collection of old antiquities and one extremely creepy Timothy Spall. The encounter with the disheveled and mysterious Carmody Braque (Spall) sets in motion a series of events which leads Laura to believe that Braque is slowly siphoning her brother’s life. Laura has the power to help her brother, as a “sensitive” she’s just one trippy dream-like state away from becoming a fully-fledged witch. Help comes in the form of fellow witch, Sorensen Carlisle (Nicholas Galitzine) and his family.
What at first seems like an obvious and predictable Ya film, in fact explores hidden emotional depths, whether it’s aware of it or not.
