Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

Ricky is a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his cantankerous foster uncle in the wild New Zealand bush. A national manhunt ensues, and the two are forced to put aside their differences and work together to survive.

Taika sure has the knack. Loved the visual comedy in this especially (along with the show-offy scenery, of course).

This makes for a great double-feature with Captain Fantastic. Both feature groups of societal outcasts with a great blend of humor and pathos. But unlike Fantastic, Wilderpeople actually stays consistently enjoyable even through the end credits. The two lead performances have such great chemistry together, I almost want to clamor for more team-ups before Julian Dennison grows up. The soundtrack was a pleasant surprise and after What We Do in the Shadows Taiki Waititi is a director whose work intrigues me.
