Hunt for the Wilderpeople – Episode 106

It’s a bushwhacking ride this week as we dive into Hunt for the Wilderpeople. This Taika Waititi film is not just a magnificent family watch, it’s a delightful treat of excellent direction, performances, and technical skill. In front of and behind the camera there are lessons everywhere. The comedic timing of Julian Dennison and Sam Neill is brilliant and sharp. Julian Dennison was great in Deadpool 2, but here he is the main focus and has nothing but screen time and it is terrific. For new directors, the thread of Taika Waititi’s style is easy to spot in here, especially if you’ve watched The Mandalorian.
