A national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.
There’s brilliant chemistry between Dennison and Neil, the pair quite obviously bouncing off each other; a joy to watch on screen, and as the story progresses you begin to feel like a member of their special pack, gleefully part of the adventure.
★★★★
Hunt for the Wilderpeople has been a huge audience favourite at festivals this year and you can see why, with its brand of dark New Zealand humour, coupled with a boy’s own adventure story that goes not merely off the rails, but off-road and off-grid.
★★★★★
Ricky is a wonderfully fresh creation, the embodiment of hilarity because he doesn’t see anything funny about anything, least of all himself.
