It\u2019s a charming escapade that brings Taika Waititi\u2019s \u201cHunt for the Wilderpeople\u201d to mind \u2014 in that, \u201cBookworm\u201d is for everyone who takes their family road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> with a side of maturity, breathtaking stakes and a droll sense of humor. Think \u201cThe Mitchells vs. the Machines\u201d and \u201cUp,\u201d with some \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d mixed in, and you\u2019ll be in the ballpark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the heart of the story is the 11-year-old Mildred (the terrific breakout Nell Fisher), a precocious tween being raised modestly in the Canterbury region by a single Kiwi mom working several jobs to make ends meet. In cinema, children outfitted with precociousness can sometimes be a cringey deal, like watching a young one overeagerly emulating an adult in mannerisms that are a few sizes too large. But through a genuine <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> by Toby Harvard (based on a story by him and Timpson), Fisher looks and sounds believably at ease with Mildred\u2019s beyond-her-years snappy sophistication, while managing to hold onto her youthful innocence and spirit. The credit belongs equally to her and the filmmaking duo, whose narrative quirks didn\u2019t quite work in the juvenile, blood-splattered thriller-comedy \u201cCome to Daddy\u201d in 2019. Perhaps their cinematic instincts work better when channeled towards younger-leaning fare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Those instincts reunite them with \u201cCome to Daddy\u201d star Elijah Wood in the role of Strawn Wise, Mildred\u2019s long-estranged American father. When a freak accident with a toaster sends Mildred\u2019s mother into a coma, Strawn enters the picture to care for his sweetly odd daughter even though he\u2019s never met her before. (Mildred was conceived during an unremarkable one-night-stand in Las Vegas, you see.) It\u2019s no surprise that the two don\u2019t bond im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely. Being a down-on-his-luck magician (well, he prefers the classier title, \u201cillusionist\u201d), the somewhat insecure, nonchalant and almost pathetically well-meaning Strawn isn\u2019t exactly the picture of model fatherhood. But the lonely voracious reader Mildred \u2014 who\u2019s both genius-level smart and an outcast at her school due to her unique qualities \u2014 decides to reluctantly team up with him on a camping <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> anyway. The quest? Gather filmed proof of the existence of a much-fabled local panther and collect the $50,000 prize offered to any fearless explorer who succeeds in the mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Falling behind on their finances, Mildred and her dear mommy can definitely use the loot, too. So the comically mismatched duo set out into the unknown to look for the creature. While it\u2019s nothing but predictable that the two would not only find the panther, but also a genuine understanding of and love for each other, the way Harvard and Timpson move the story forward still startles, entertains and wins hearts, with plenty of embarrassing dad jokes and tween eye-rolling to go around. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Early on, most of the film\u2019s humor exploits Mildred\u2019s mind-boggling vocabulary and knowledge compared to the oddball Strawn\u2019s less-than-worldly existence. After all, he is just a mediocre illusionist who wears black nail polish to seem cool, frequently failing to impress his daughter with magic tricks. (There is also a hilarious joke at the start about who David Copperfield is to these eccentrics \u2014 a Dickens character or a magician?) But gradually, Harvard\u2019s script cracks open the kinder depths of the duo\u2019s familial bonding by campfires, scenic lakes and various perilous situations that they find themselves in across a gorgeous landscape that can also be hostile toward the unequipped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The most significant of these dangers turns out to be an initially harmless-looking couple, played memorably by Michael Smiley and Vanessa Stacey. They introduce themselves as Arnold and Angelina and join the father-daughter for what could be a fun detour. The picture changes when Strawn realizes the true identity of these off-kilter personalities. On the surface, the scenes that unfold around the temporary intruders play for a few laughs and some distressing suspense. But they are also when Strawn\u2019s disarming love for his daughter comes into sharp focus \u2014 in a moment when he is least expecting, the call of fatherhood finds him sneakily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Always an impressive presence with his sharply wounded gaze, Wood brings much allure and comfort into his performance, understatedly expressing Strawn\u2019s vulnerability as he rises to the occasion of parenthood. Elsewhere, cinematographer Daniel Katz\u2019s observant camera does justice to the delicate connection between the leads, giving them both the closeness and breathing room they crave across the grand scenery meant for big theatrical screens. That much is telegraphed (quite brilliantly) from the beginning \u2014 Katz starts the movie off with a peculiar boxed aspect ratio, expanding the picture as soon as Strawn and Mildred venture out into the wild. It\u2019s almost as if the filmmakers want to declare right at the start that their intimately-scaled film has larger ambitions in mind, both visually and emotionally. And they deliver exactly that: a deceptively small affair, unafraid to look and feel big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
