Just finished it. Such a bittersweet movie. All the actors were amazing, every last one of them. The big tragic moment didn't really hit me as it should have tho. The kid was doing a really great job throughout, but didn't sell it on that scene for some reason.
Easily a 9/10 comedy. Not a barrel of laughs by any means, but still one of the best of 2019. I'm just glad that Waititi went into movie making. He's just so god damned good at it.
