GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

perica-43151 Want to see something fresh and original, heartwarming but also substantial - this movie is for you. Its director has such a unique tone, and his talent puts New Zealand on the world movie map all over again. Well worth your time, a positive movie, but in a deepest sense there is.

michaelbrooks-36441 Wow. The most fun I've had watching a movie. The jokes never miss, and are absolutely hilarious. It even hits you in the feels on two seperate occasions. The cinematography is wonderul, the visuals of the new zealand forest is stunning aswell. For the love of god, see this movie!!

Joel Arends Haikus are a great way to express your feelings and young Ricky sure has a lot of them. Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) is the blissfully charming victim-of the-system kid that many kiwis probably know all to well. He's on his last chance to make his new foster family work and finds a tough challenge in old man Hector. "Uncle Heck" played by Sam Neil is the dogged bastard who is matched only in sheer stubbornness by this kid. Shit gets real in the NZ jungle and this unlikely pairing become a hilarious duo on a ride through life taking the rest of the country with them. Really the film can be summed up in just one word. Character. What the film lacks in post production and cinematography it makes up for in screenplay and charm. I don't think it's Taika Waititi best direction it is an an example of New Zealand's funniest and finest and for 2 and a half million bucks I doubt anyone could have done better.

Johnny H. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is Taika Waititi's fourth feature film, and arguably his finest one. I love this movie: the New Zealand scenery and cast of this film not only helps with the film's broad yet culturally specific appeal, it tells story that is hilarious, touching and very memorable. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a comedy-drama about family and how social misfits only truly understand each other. Ricky Baker is adopted by Bella and Hec. And things only get more complicated and wacky when Bella passes away, leaving Hec to take care of Ricky himself.The film takes surprising turns when you least expect it to. It's still very much a comedy but one that takes emotional risks for the sake of the story rather than shock value. Taika Waititi based this film off a book, that may have been so niche that it doesn't have its own wikipedia page. It's great we live in a world where a director like Waititi gives life to a story where the world doesn't realise it wants it or needs it. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one such film.If you want a film that provides belly-laughs and great characters, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is surprisingly easy to get into. Watch the film; just see it asap. It's a Kiwi-delight and one of 2016's best movies.
