We're Here to Help

About This Movie

We're Here to Help is a peculiar blend of drama and docudrama that really captures the absurdity of bureaucratic encounters. It tells the tale of a small businessman in Christchurch battling the Inland Revenue Department. The Kafkaesque vibe permeates the film, making you feel the tension and frustration of dealing with faceless figures who hold your fate in their hands. The pacing is methodical, mirroring the drawn-out nature of tax disputes, and the performances carry a weight of realism that draws you in. There’s this distinctive vibe where the mundane meets the surreal, and it’s a reminder of how ordinary lives can be affected by these labyrinthine systems. The practical effects are minimal, but they emphasize the stark reality of the situation rather than overshadow it.
