Bold and heartwarming. Heavy and light hearted.

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2019)

I am really surprised at the critics who felt this movie crossed a line. If it was even a touch more serious, it wouldn't work at all. Taika Waititi walks the line beautifully. He uses his trademark kiwi humour to lighten the mood in order to be able to talk about these very difficult topics.
It is about how we are brainwashed by our society about what is acceptable and what isn't, it is about cruelty, fear, strength. It is about freedom - physical and intellectual. Of course it is about death and war and pain.
Amazing performances by all the actors, casting was immaculate!
Thank you Taika!! We are blessed to have you in this world!
