Hunt for the Wilderpeople
7.5/10
Majestical
If you shoot in New Zealand and don’t have some wonderful cinematography you’re a fool. This film is no The Revenant but it used the scenery very well.
The story per se is not too original, two lost souls, for different reasons, that don’t like each other at the beginning and, through a physical and mental journey get to know and like each other. However it’s how the story is narrated which is the good part.
Full of funny jokes and hilarious moments, this film explores simple principles from a very particular point of view, allowing us to emphasise with the protagonist through comedy and drama st the same time.
