Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)
Chosen by me on netflix because What we do in the Shadows was great.
Charming and oddball for the most part buoyed by two terrific performances from Sam Neill and Julian Dennison.
It works best as a low key character piece, with the two (and early on three - Rima Te Wiata is splendid) bouncing off each other in interesting ways and, whilst not the gag machine of What we do in the Shadows, still often very funny.
It loses it's power a little as it gets sillier towards the end but the mix of drama and comedy is mostly deft and affecting.
