Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Taika Waititi's "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is a adventure comedy drama movie inspired by Barry's Crump "Wild pork and Watercress".The movie can make you cry,can make you laugh and can make you think and show the situation in New Zealand.

A beautiful yet very funny film with a serious theme and message at its core.

Waititi isn't trying to encroach on Wes Anderson's space, but if this movie were to be pitted against any of Anderson's creations, Hunt for the Wilderpeople would mop the floor with Anderson. Beats him at his own game of Wes-styled framing and shots and Wes-styled soundtracksTaika has managed to find a set of: Killer soundtrack Killer cinematography Killer humour and jokes Killer cast and knits all of it together very organically into one really funny, feel-good comedy.

While Taika Waititi takes over Hollywood with his next two projects: THOR 3: RAGNORAK (2017) and a sequel to his funniest film to date WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2014), hysterically entitled WE'RE WOLVES, his latest "little film that could" should put Sam Neil back on the map with a wonderfully gracious performance.This magical realist New Zealand adventure drops an unloved, rebellious, little fat kid into the wild, wild southwest — and I'm here to say that this was the feel good film of Sundance this year.

Kiwi director Taika Waititi can be something of an acquired taste so far I've loved one of his films (THOR: RAGNAROK) but pretty much hated another (WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS). Thankfully HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE is far more like the former than the latter it's a fun adventure-style movie that boasts an effectively small scale and some wonderfully endearing characters who bring the story to life very well, particularly Julian Dennison who gives a stand-out turn as the child lead.

Taika Waititi is starting to make some real waves in the film making industry. It's as simple as this - every film he makes, people like.

A brilliant funny movie that still respects the sadness that happens in life but tries to show you that fun and laughter can still be our main focus. I think this is the best so far of Taika Waititi's films and recommend it to anyone to see.

It's too hard to fault Taika Waititi he's excellent at what he does, and this movie is surely his best yet. The story has serious matters at its heart, and yet it managed to stay well above maudlin at all times, being moving and downright hilarious most of the time.
