One of the year's most charming films
Like a live-action Up with much more bloodshed, Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a charming, skillfully constructed comedy-adventure. Waititi, who directed the hilarious vampire-comedy What We Do In the Shadows and will soon make his way to Marvel with Thor: Ragnarok, pulls out all the stops, staging quick-timed comedy bits and intense moments of action with equal aplomb. The result is invigorating — a film that blends the fresh and the old-school, feeling both modern and like a throwback to the Amblin-style adventure films that don’t get much play anymore: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/hunt-for-the-wilderpeople/
