Amazon Prime Videomay have its own Lord of the Rings series,The Rings of Powerbut it has just added a 2016 movie that I think truly captures the feeling of wandering through the beautiful New Zealand scenery better than Middle Earth itself. It’s hilarious to boot too.
I’m talking aboutHunt for the Wilderpeople,a Taika Waititi joint that will have you crying laughing and then on the verge of genuine tears within the space of a couple of minutes.Jurassic Parklegend Sam Neil stars, but his character is the only dinosaur on screen.
Waititi’s typical deadpan Kiwi humour is rife throughout this story (especially when he appears on screen) and works brilliantly, but this is really a tale of our two leads. It’s a joy watching Ricky and Hector develop a surrogate father-son relationship and finally open up to each other. With a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating, I don’t need to tell you how just how well the movie balances these two elements, and if you haveAmazon Prime, you can watch it for free.
Prime Video and its free service Freevee have been making a strong case amongst the best streaming services recently, with it also addingWomen Talking,the most powerful movie I’ve seen in years, last month. If you’re looking for a similar flavour of comedy,Disney+ has the excellentWhat we do in the Shadows,a TV series based on Waititi’s film of the same name.
