Product Description

New Zealand child services placed abandoned delinquent teen Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) with lovingly receptive farm wife/foster mom Bella Faulkner (Rima Te Wiata) and her much-less-so husband Hector (Sam Neill). After Bella's abrupt death, Ricky decided to run rather than go back into the system-and as Hec pursued, they found themselves having to stay a step ahead of misapprehending authorities. Taika Waititi's acclaimed adventure-comedy co-stars Rachel House, Rhys Darby. 101 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free

“Stay Maori, bro!”; or, “Who ate the guy who ate all those pies?“
4 Stars
“Stay Maori, bro!”; or, “Who ate the guy who ate all those pies?“
I’m tempted to pitch this one as an updated, Kiwi version of “True Grit” (willful teenager joins forces with elderly badass on wilderness quest…). Julian Dennison is adorable as Ricky, a wayward city kid who’s spent his life in foster care. With his thirteenth birthday approaching, he’s almost aged out of the system, so when his last-chance placement at a remote mountain farm falls through, he lights out for the bush—not the moors and mountains of LotR fame, but a trackless upland forest infested with feral hogs—rather than chance the dreaded juvie. After a couple of ingenious, almost plausible plot twists, he ends up on the lam with his soon-to-be-ex–foster parent, Hec (pron. “Hick”; a perfect part for Sam Neil), pursued by tac units in body armor, vengeful bounty hunters and a Javertlike social worker with scary eyebrows…The odd-couple dynamic of the mouthy Ricky in his flashy “skux” gear and the taciturn bushman is hard to resist. (Skux = Kiwi for playa or gangsta, depending on context.) It’s formula stuff, to be sure, but the script’s a lot tighter than Taika Waititi’s previous efforts like “Boy” and “What We Do in the Shadows” (did that one even have a script?), and the film builds up some real “Thelma and Louise” momentum as the popo closes in on the outlaw duo. Great locations, great soundtrack, great performances—Rhys Darby (“Flight of the Conchords”) has a dorky cameo as a crazed backwoods hermit that breaks the spell for a while, but otherwise it’s all good.
