Taika Waititi is a genius

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2020)

After thoroughly improving in the MCU and resurrecting the character of Thor in Ragnarok (2017) he returns to his humbler roots outside of the superhero conglomerate. While it may not be as strong a film as Hunt for the Wilderpeople or indeed Thor Ragnarok , he still produces an astonishing piece of work that merges a witty and silly comedy Which Waititi is a master of with a truly devastating portrayal of youth and German society during the Second World War. It might not be as good as his other works, yet it it is still a strong and engaging film that is more than worthy of its six Oscar nominations and places its director right at the top of the league of film makers currently working now !
