Critic Reviews

Tatau just doesn’t leave enough of an impression to get under one’s skin.

Tatau is barely B-grade. But like a lot of shows these days, it offers the compensations of lovely scenery captured in quite satisfactory digital cinematography, in this case real locations in the Cook Islands and New Zealand.

I found myself not caring much about Kyle, Budgie or what any of these tattoos mean, but the cinematography is grand.

Tatau at times is diverting. Visually, it's simply gorgeous. But the story? Give me a break.
