- Mar BensonApril 28, 2025Adoption fate and humor of a saved boys life in the bush who got the Love and Life all abandon kids deserve
- Kevin WardJuly 4, 2025Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a heartwarming and hilarious adventure that showcases Taika Waititi's signature comedic sensibilities. The film follows the unlikely duo of a rebellious teenage boy and his grumpy foster uncle, played to perfection by Sam Neill. Waititi, an expert at balancing humor and heart in his films, creates a poignant and meaningful story about family, belonging, and resilience. Neill’s performance is a standout, bringing depth and humanity to his gruff but lovable character. It’s been on my watchlist for awhile, but finally crossed it off. The entire family really enjoyed it. Worth checking out.
- RyezooFebruary 15, 2025This movie is gangsta! This movie is enjoyable from start to finish. It's unpredictable and hilarious. As the chapters went on I found myself more and more invested. It's such a great premise and has fantastic performances from everyone involved. The cinematography is beautiful and the editing was spot on. I loved the shots were the camera pans and you see a character doing different things in the same area. The soundtrack was a character in itself. Perfect music selection. Such a fun movie!
