Based on the novel Hunt by Barry Crump, troublemaker Ricky is sent to the countryside of New Zealand to live with a foster family.

Ricky runs away from his foster uncle, who follows him into the wilderness, leading the authorities to believe that Ricky has been kidnapped by his foster uncle.

“Like Wes Anderson’s Rushmore, Hunt for the Wilderpeople magically taps into the logic, thought processes, and emotions of a child. It’s a rich, strange, and wondrous world.”-Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer 

“…One of the most sincere and funny portraits of family life to come along in a while.”- April Wolfe, Village Voice
