Soulbright Movie Night | Hunt For The Wilderpeople

This Friday, we are going to New Zealand - into the endless rolling green hills, misty forests, untamed bush, and the limitless skies on a fun, sometimes quirky, at times hilarious adventure. We'll get happily lost in the majestic landscape, crash through ferns, dodge wild pigs, and stumble into moments humorous, comical, and utterly ridiculous—the kind that make us laugh out loud and feel lighter on our beanbags.

🌲🐖🌳 Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) 🧒🏼🤵🏻🌿🇳🇿

Directed by New Zealand's very Own Taika Waititi, meet Ricky Baker—a urban troublemaker teenager,amateur rapper, and full-time handful. He's paired with Hec, a grizzled bushman who'd rather wrestle a wild pig than make small talk. When a series of gloriously ridiculous misunderstandings turns them into fugitives, they're forced to survive the wilderness—and each other. Amidst the quietness and chaos of the thick forest, an unlikely friendship takes root.

❤️🎬 What Andrea Loves about the film - in her own words::
The unpredictable bond and relationship created between very contrastive personality types and special characters.
The comedy style that the famous Taika Waititi uses in his films make me reflect on the way how we can deliver humor to the audience in different ways than what is usually presented to us in current blockbusters.
Furthermore, the movie portrays the mesmerizing beauty of New Zealand.

🌟🏆 Winner of the Sundance Audience Award. Critics have called it "hysterically funny," "surprisingly moving," and "pure Waititi magic".

After the film, let's gather in our beanbag forest—where troublemakers, gruffs, quirky souls, and refined hearts all find a spot—to connect and unpack all the laughs and surprisingly tender moments.
