Klara And The Sun Review: Taika Waititi Fails To Capture A Quietly Emotional Dystopian Story

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Taika Waititi has taken on a Nobel Prize winner by Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun, but the resulting film falls short of the source material. When I first experienced Waititi as a director, in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, I was thrilled at his ability to deliver big set pieces and incorporate humor. Then, in 2019, Waititi's Jojo Rabbit blew me away with a fascinating balance of deep, emotionally charged story beats and more intense and consequential storytelling.
