Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Comedy


 

A manhunt is mounted when a young boy and his foster carer take to the bush rather than let the authorities move the boy to another home.

"Hunt for the Wilderpeople" is a surprisingly droll yet down to earth adventure tale, a disarmingly simple movie loaded with meaningful social context. All of the whimsy and grit of dyed-in-the-wool New Zealand characters are captured, and the dialogue between the duo-on-the-run is wry and snappy. The action might be comic, but it's the emotionally honest central relationship that holds all of the interest. Wild thing, you make my heart sing.
