Our take

Taika Waititi’s meteoric rise to Oscar®-winning writer and blockbuster director began with this whimsical debut. Tipping its hat to the handmade charms of Wes Anderson and Michel Gondry, Eagle vs Shark is a winsomely off-kilter romcom led by Flight of the Conchords’ breakout star Jemaine Clement.
