Jojo Rabbit - Avis

Jojo Rabbit Is Taika Waititi’s Marvel Presents Mein Kampf.

...a very funny WWII film that nevertheless carries an incredibly important message about the here and now.

Child actors are hit or miss. Roman Griffin Davis is particularly good. For one, he acts like a 10-year-old boy, but Davis also takes us through Jojo’s transformation...

The two talented young leads are the main reason this all pays off in the end...

Imagine that — in these sensitive times, a Hitler comedy that works.

Taika Waititi pulls off the near-impossible in Hitler fantasia.

...an engrossing snapshot of national crisis.

...an “anti-hate satire” that’s as serious in its arguments as it is often ludicrously hilarious in its depiction of true evil.

When one steps back from “Jojo Rabbit” and looks at the individual pieces, there’s a lot to admire.

...the strangely good-natured feel of the film will win the hearts of many viewers...

..with racist ideologies resurfacing once again in the present day, Jojo Rabbit is a reminder that we shouldn’t either.

...in between the belly laughs there’s also a moving story about grief; of losing a sister, a daughter, a parent, a people.
