Review of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) by Bhbarry — 24 Aug 2016
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople” is a New Zealand film directed by Taika Waittiti who also wrote the screenplay based on the novel by Barry Crump. The film stars Julian Dennison and Sam Neill and tells the story of an unwanted ward of the country’s foster care system who, as an unloved teenager, finds his way into the lives and hearts of one family.
Enhanced by the beautiful scenery of the bush country and the tremendous acting of both young master Dennison and Mr. Neill, the film is an adventure, a comedy and a drama perhaps better suited for a movie of the week on television.
That notwithstanding, I give the film an 8 because, when all is said and done, I look back and consider that, by viewing it, I had a satisfying theatrical experience.
