tezenyama THIS is the movie we need right now. Filled with downright hilarious jokes (who knew German Shepherds could make such a great punchline. a surprising and poignant screenplay, and three particularly phenomenal performances in Davis, Waititi, and Johansson, this not only met my expectations but further surpassed them on almost every level. The ensemble is filled with superb acting across the board, and each technical element from production design to costuming is unique yet precise. Additionally, there is a certain moment in the film that was absolutely bone-chilling in which one could feel each and every audience member's mood shift. The shift is executed so perfectly, largely as a result of Taika Waititi's brilliant direction and screenplay. Without his specific guidance in multiple aspects of the film, this could so easily have fallen apart. This is not a movie that should work it all. but damn it sure does. Be sure to update your Oscar predictions because this should go far.
