There was even a sequel.

Doesn't sound like a movie I'd want to see once let alone "all the time"... and how did you forget the title if you watched it so often?

thx but it was the daughter who hung herself just watched it

i was 14 im 30 now so i forgot after 16 years of movie name

Definitely sounds like Once Were Warriors which was set down here in New Zealand.

mrhan wasn't disputing which character committed suicide but rather which character hung out at the local bar. You described the mother as being the one who was a barfly. That detail aside, you are most likely talking about Once Were Warriors.

Do you suffer from short term memory loss?

Any facial tattoos? That might ring a bell ...

So you just watched it but were in a coma for 16 years?

Please can someone engineer a 'like' button for these types of forum comments? ^
