“Sarah and Sione fall in love - can their love transcend their different backgrounds?” - New Zealand Film Commission; www.nzfilm.co.nz/film/sons-for-the-return-home; 5/02/2014.

“The scenario of SONS FOR THE RETURN HOME is one of those for which there are two possible endings - the lovers will come together at the end or they won’t [...] But the film is less concerned with what happens than with the whys, and the motivations and ethnic backgrounds of the lovers. She is a white New Zealander, he is a brown Polynesian from Western Samoa. They meet when she picks him up in the library of the university of Wellington where they are students, and the film is about the impact on their affair of their contrasting cultures.” - ‘Variety’, October 31, 1979.
