Hunt for the Wilderpeople
In Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a goofball preacher tells a tiny group of mourners that sometimes in life we may feel "like a sheep trapped in a maze designed by wolves."
By Joe Morgenstern • • 3m ListenHunt for the Wilderpeoplewas based on a book by Barry Crump called Wild Pork and Watercress. The movie has its share of misfired jokes and pseudo-mythic sequences that semi-fizzle. All in all, though, it's majestical nonsense that's anything but nonsensical.
