Big fan of Taika Waititi

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2020)

Well deserved 'Best adapted screenplay' Oscar. Originally intended to be a drama, the adaptation into a comedy certainly makes light of the controversial subject matter. Fox Searchlight's insistence that Taika himself play the imaginary friend as Hitler also offsets this.
Taika Waititi makes films that are uniquely his with his own brand of humour. Some people may not identify with (NZ) dry sense of humour though. It is certainly well deserved after writing this back in 2012. Credit to all actors in this film also, especially the children actors.
