Jojo Rabbit (2019)

 1 hr 50 min
Directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and starring Roman Griffin Davis as the titular Jojo Rabbit, Taika Waititi, Thomasin McKenzie, and Scarlett Johansson, “Jojo Rabbit” is a humorous and sometimes moving comedy that depicts the end of WW2 from an impassioned young
member of the Hitlerjund.

Ten-year-old Jojo joins the Hitlerjugend only to incapacitate himself with a grenade on the first day after being bullied by the other boys. Ordered to perform minor tasks around the town like pasting propaganda letters and asking for metal scraps from around the town, he is only accompanied by his imaginary friend, a heavily satirized version of Hitler (Waititi). His imaginary friend fuels Jojo’s blind obsession with his nation, which is challenged when he discovers that his mother has secretly hidden a Jew in the attic.
Jojo Rabbit will bring laughter, smiles and possibly tears through its punctual comedy and emotional messages over consistently gorgeous cinematography. Although its controversial premise may drive some away from watching it, Jojo Rabbit is a must-watch for anyone
wanting to experience some of the best cinema of the last few years.

Thanks again, Griffin! – Mrs. Long
