SLAM! Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 2 minutes ago, Spaghetti by the Sea said: In the New-Zealand-set comedy film Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a young orphan and a cynical foster father form an unlikely bond while adventuring through the wilderness and running from those that want to capture them. The film shows the lush and colorful country from an intriguingly unconventional point of view as the journey continues forward, and from very early on in the runtime, the dedication spent on accurately describing an entire community of people and making the events seem grounded in a brimming world is clearly evident. Writer and director Taika Waititi expertly stamps his trademark peculiarity onto his work with snappy dialogue and offbeat visual style, and each of the performances, including turns from the veteran Sam Neill, the unwavering Rachel House, and the breakout Julian Dennison, among others, shine brightly and add even more depth to what were already deep characters in the first place. The film's idiosyncratic nature ensures its position as a film standing apart from any other film in 2016 or perhaps the whole decade when all is said and done. And, lastly, this film portrays the heartfelt bonds that can generate from the most peculiar situations and keep themselves molded together in the midst of life's most devastating disappointments. -AABATTERY I was the one that wrote this bit... but that's okay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 lol Suicide Squad sucked. The fact they're considering Mel Gibson to direct a sequel to it sounds fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAM! Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Zootopia was bound to win best animated. Not wanting to choose between Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Sing Street is the reason why I didn't vote for Best Overlooked Feature, but I have to admit, Silence was certainly an overlooked feature. Now I really want to go watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Silence will be taught in film schools. didn't catch on with the awards because these days they only award the fast food that gives them immediate emotional gratification. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
