Viewing Notes

Undoubtedly one of my favorite movies this year and will be in my top ten. So damn funny and endearing. Crazy to think Taika is directing a Marvel movie. But I’m super excited to see what he does. Hopefully it funds more original films like this.

Also one of Sam Neill’s best roles in a long, long time.
