Our take

Before Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit, Oscar® winner Taika Waititi directed this big-hearted coming-of-age story. Set in his native New Zealand, the film became the country’s highest-grossing local production while gathering attention abroad for its charm and tender depiction of adolescence.
