Starring: Julian Dennison, Sam Neil, Rachel House, Rhys Darby, Taika Waititi, Rima Te Wiata and Oscar Knightly.
A troublesome kid and his foster father escape into the New Zealand wilderness as they run from the police.
This is probably my favourite movie - I have a lot of others that I'm really struggling to place above or below it - but...I think this takes the cake.
I love the balance of comedy and tragedy, I love the music/soundtrack, I love the acting and the actors, I love how it shows New Zealand - it's just so perfect.
The story is so sweet and kind of a tearjerker. But it's just hilarious (as are most of Waititi's amazing works, definitely my favourite director) at the same time. This movie had be laughing during a funeral scene.
The cinematography is really cool, the 360° camera shot in the woods and you can see a second shot of the characters is unique. Also, there's a bit where the camera is handheld facing on them and then the police yell and the camera turns to the police but when it turns back to the others they've already left the frame and then the camera turns full to the left to see them running. I've never seen that - horror movies could take notes lol.
The music is fantastic. The original songs by Moniker (I recommend you check out 'Ocean Blue') and the song choices are very good. Also, not a day goes by where my dad doesn't randomly start screaming "RICKY BAKER AH AH AH RICKY BAKER AH AH AH" 🤣
100% recommend, the movie needs more love. 10/10
