Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 10/10 by Soren AndersenLaugh-out-loud funny one minute, achingly sad the next, "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" takes the audience on a rollicking yet poignant journey through the New Zealand backcountry in the company of a pair of engagingly eccentric characters.
RTÉ (Ireland) - 10/10 by Harry GuerinGrowing up, growing old and the grief that's part of both is beautifully handled here with a quirky mix of humour and heart.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by Dan JolinA bit "Up," a bit "Moonrise Kingdom," a bit "Midnight Run," even… Taika Waititi’s latest is an oddball treat of a mismatched-buddy pursuit move.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob Thomas"Wilderpeople" is one of those rare movies that works for almost any generation, silly and sweet and big-hearted. To quote Hec, it's a majestical piece of filmmaking.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin Covert"Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is the kind of adorable, coming-of-age dramedy that Pixar would proudly create if it made live-action movies and not cartoons.
The Young Folks - 10/10 by Allyson Johnson... Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a wonderfully executed genre cocktail where one moment will leave you breathless from laughter, the next recovering from heartache.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by J. R. JonesWaititi looks for humor in quirks of character and degrees of stubbornness, and the natural challenges of Crump's wilderness journey generate a succession of belly laughs onscreen as the gruff old man scraps with the loudmouthed kid.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 10/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniThe photography is lush, the dialogue uproarious, and the crazy action sequences unforgettable.
Starburst - 10/10 by Andrew MarshallHunt For the Wilderpeople is funny, moving, enthralling and exciting, and impossible to not be drawn into.
Junkee - 10/10 by Lachlan KanoniukThis may sound like a standard adventure narrative or buddy film, but Waititi magnificently feels out the nuances with enormous heart.
