Taika sure has the knack. Loved the visual comedy in this especially (along with the show-offy scenery, of course).fonz
This makes for a great double-feature with Captain Fantastic. Both feature groups of societal outcasts with a great blend of humor and pathos. But unlike Fantastic, Wilderpeople actually stays consistently enjoyable even through the end credits. The two lead performances have such great chemistry together, I almost want to clamor for more team-ups before Julian Dennison grows up. The soundtrack was a pleasant surprise and after What We Do in the Shadows Taiki Waititi is a director whose work intrigues me.fbillys

It's perfect. I love Sam NeillCynicus Rex
I immediately wanted to watch again. Each year I only see a handful of movies that totally entice me to look up everything about it and tell as many people as possible. This is one of them. The cinematography, music, dialogue, comedy, etc. Everything is top notch.MarthaMay
Very human, I felt. And with a great humorous edge and a greater soundtrack. Makes me look forward to see more from Taika Waititi.Siskoid
In brief, pretty wonderful. This is the story of young delinquent boy sent to live with foster parents in the wilds of New Zealand, who ends up running from the law with his curmudgeony "uncle" (Sam Neill) as an Ahab-like social worker tries to get him back into the system and likely, juvenile hall. Quirky and funny, it features what you might call the extreme viewpoint of a child, especially in the characterization of the adults, who seem strange, unknowable and/or unfairly antagonistic. The ridiculous national manhunt acts as a backdrop to a grand adventure in New Zealand's beautiful natural world, and the bond between boy and uncle is forged without resorting to overt sentimentality. Everything is at once odd and real. Waititi is a director worth keeping tabs on.-1flb2-
Fun enjoyable movie. Not easy to say about movies now a days. Lovable characters, and found myself laughing. I thought the beginning and the end of the movie were great. Highly recommend.samoan
After watching this movie, I think it is great they finally made the prequel to Ricky-Oh the story Ricky. I just wish they showed how he lost all weight and gained the Kung Fu magic.nowhereman136
I thought it took a while to warm up to the characters. It gets better as it goes on8/10

The film is very similar to The Chase (1994) in many places, loved bothGilles Debil
This film has everything that I would typically hate, but there is something magically charming about it. I love it.Showing items 1 – 15 of 23
