	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Hilarious, touching. (...) Every once in a while, a small, unheralded film comes along, so smart and funny, such a pleasure to experience, you can't believe your luck. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is such a film."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Warmly funny (...) 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople' is a tale of two misfits told with such generosity of spirit and consistent good humour that it’s a pleasant surprise to discover how sneakily touching it is as well"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A pleasing comedy-adventure that pays cheeky homage to some early New Zealand classics"	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"A deliciously good time at the movies (...) What makes Wilderpeople memorable is how attached audiences become to the characters"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' is consistently clever and even moving. It’s proof that we’ll keep listening to the familiar stories if they’re this well-told (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
