That was something unexpected. Waititi is a true and genuine talent of a Tarantino proportions. But where Tarantino mainly stays within his universe and acting, it feels that Waititi is much more diverse, while he can tackle almost any genre. It's not for everyone, yet he manages to make you experience actual deep emotions towards the characters and get the best out of actors. I saw many movies with Scarlet Johanson, but it was the first time ever, that I felt real appreciation towards her as an actress. She got the Oscar nod for the best supporting actress, but after seeing this one, in my opinion, she should have won. Young actors are very young, but they gave an excellent performances. It was a real shock moment once you see some of the sadder parts of the movie. Presentation is everything and this one is a rare movie that makes you sad and happy simultaneously, and that's where Waititi's talent shines. It's not an epic 10/10 blockbuster of an Avengers endgame proportions, but it's unexpected and brilliant. It's rare for me to re-watch those types of movies, yet I would like to return to that same universe and I definitely would like to see the follow up of the story if he ever decides to shoot it.
