In 1994 overdonderde Tamahori critici en publiek met zijn razend knappe film Once Were Warriors. Het is het verhaal van het Maori-echtpaar Jake en Beth (Temuera en Rowen) die met hun schare kinderen leven in een verpauperde buitenwijk van Auckland, Nieuw-Zeeland. Hun huwelijk is op het eerste gezicht liefdevol maar Jake blijkt een licht ontvlambare geweldenaar onder invloed van alcohol. De vele facetten van de film (huiselijk geweld, armoede, etniciteit) worden bijzonder sterk neergezet door de sterke cast, vooral door Morrison. Ondertussen diept Tamahori de cultuurkloof tussen Maori-tradities en de westerse waarden uit. Schokkend en ontroerend, prachtig in beeld gebracht en bekroond met vele festivalprijzen.

The barren lives of members of an urban Maori family are rigorously exposed in this rugged and painful picture, based on Alan Duff's novel, which was a Kiwi bestseller. Though the film has opened strongly on its home turf via Footprint Films distribbery, it looms as a tough sell elsewhere; non-U.S. films about minority groups have rarely made it with mainstream audiences, and first-time director Lee Tamahori's brave pic is likely to prove too unrelentingly violent for the arthouse crowd.
