Jojo Rabbit
WWII comedy from filmmaker Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) who also stars as a little boy's imaginary Hitler.
The world view of a lonely German boy (newcomer Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo) is upended when he discovers that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie, Leave No Trace) in their attic. Aided only by his moronic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, Jojo starts to confront his blind nationalism.

Collider
pressTaika Waititi scores again thanks to his signature style of comedy, excellent cast, and message of love and hope.
Hollywood Reporter
pressJust as it was easy to like 1999 multiple Oscar winner Life Is Beautiful, it was even easier to dislike it, and the same holds true for Jojo Rabbit...
Variety
pressIt's a feel-good movie, all right, but one that uses the fake danger of defanged black comedy to leave us feeling good about the fact that we're above a feel-good movie.
The Guardian
pressWhat Waititi thinks is shockingly audacious is in fact frustratingly timid, he opts for a gentle prod when maybe a punch would do.
Los Angeles Times
press[I]f "Jojo Rabbit" has anything to teach us, it's that sniffles can be an even greater divider.

pressJojo Rabbit is more of a roast than a reckoning, which I suppose would be fine if it were only aiming for comedy. But this is a movie with lofty humanist ideas.
Time Out
pressIn its precision, Jojo Rabbit may remind you of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, another comedy in which clownish forces of fascism squared off against love, humour and elegance - both movies feel like they come from the same universe.
