Directed by Taika Waititi & Jemaine Clement

It’s hard not to love the work of Taika Waititi. You can tell by his films that his first priority as a filmmaker is to make people laugh. What We Do In the Shadows isn’t quite the cinematic heart-wrencher that Boy was, but it still succeeds in utilising the mockumentary format to great comedic effect. I hope more films like this are made: it has an energy that can only come as a result of friends making films with friends.
