It never once disrespects or makes light of the history it's portraying, while managing to pull off humor that would feel right at home in a Monty Python sketch or Mel Brooks feature. The cast is superb all around, held together mostly by terrific child actors; however, Thomasin McKenzie may be the film's number one breakout star.… Expand

The movie is a well made terribly told story with no direction. The movie either doesn't know what it's trying to say or doesn't know how to say it effectively. From Rozy sudden and frankly lackluster death to jojo's characterization (which I can't blame the actor for,he was great). Taika unfortunately got lost in his strengths,tge slapstick comedy that usually works so well for him feels immature here. This should've been better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is honestly my all time favorite so far, It puts you into perspective of "What if you were living in that time". The character development is superb, JoJo goes from a brainwashed kid to a anti-Nazi. Another character stood out me, Captain Klenzindorf. He was forced to train kids to fight because of his injury, and in the end when he saves JoJo from being taken into custody. In the beginning of the movie, Hitler is very kind to JoJo because he sees JoJo as a person, but when JoJo starts to help Elsa, he starts treating him horribly. That just proves how awful Nazi Germany was. To people who say the movie is promoting Nazism with it's humor, it really isn't. JoJo Rabbit's jokes are against Nazi and you are supposed to laugh at how stupid the Nazi's beliefs were.… Expand

I randomly watched the movie during a flight, which means that I neither expected much, nor have I watched the trailer, but as soon as I landed Jojo Rabbit managed to become (probably) my favourite film of the past decade.
I laughed, I cried, I was delighted, and touched.
Brilliant performance by the actors, which had great chemistry amongst each other and pulled off a decent way to sound German in the English language without cheaply mocking it. (I am a native German speaker)
Great soundtrack and use of actual music and songs.
The movie has quite a layered point to make, which easily eludes you if only watching once (or on a plane for that matter). Regarding the criticism I've read online:
This is not supposed to be a lighthearted Schindlers Liste, nor a mocking comedy about Hitler.
It is something special on its very own with a unique take on WWII through the eyes of a little boy that wants to fit in with all the other Nazis. By taking that lens it manages to display the horrors (that were visible to a child back then) in a funny way, simply by taking them naively serious. Everyone I've showed this movie so far liked it a lot, Jewish and German alike.… Expand

Its obviously a very seriousThis is very much a quirky watch, which has a strong comic book type feel to it, in that there's quite strong colours and settings, with somewhat exaggerated characters (in terms of their gestures and behaviour). Its obviously a very serious subject, the 2nd World War and I wouldn't want to downplay that at all but there is a certain, very dark comedy element to this film I suppose. Of course there's a fair argument to say that this may make some people think that you can have a laugh at what was a mass scale tragedy, genocide of the Jews etc. and I'm also very much aware of the rise in antisemitism in recent months and years.

I think the humour comes from the way it clearly shows just how obsessive the Nazi's were and the clear megalomania that was present. Its very much satirical and features some interesting cast members as supporting characters, like Rebel Wilson and Stephen Merchant. The fact that the film focusses on such a young child (a 10 year old) and how he tries to get his head around what is happening around him and why, that's quite good in that it perhaps could be seen as a bit insightful into how the native children may have processed things. Its very much tongue in cheek and I can understand why it would annoy or upset some but I do feel there's something interesting about it. I'm glad it has the 12 rating in the UK, as I wouldn't be keen for pretty young kids to watch it, with the obvious themes, even though there is relatively little in the way of violence, or graphic violence certainly.

It is somewhat outrageous in tone at times, mainly with the scenes featuring Jojo's imaginary friend, Hitler himself (played by Taika Waititi), who gestures and behaves in a very childish way. Its a bit strange but I quite liked it in a way, though I can understand those who don't feel that way. I couldn't quite understand how it was anti-nationalism until quite late on in the film but it did feel fairly effective by the very end.

Personally, I'd recommend it as long as you know what its about and the type of film it is (a quirky darkly comic/satire drama).… Expand

It's not a purposefully sad and depressing movie, like many moviesThere is so much to be said about this movie. Jojo Rabbit manages to balance surreal comedy with serious drama to tell a story during WW2 through the eyes of a child. It's not a purposefully sad and depressing movie, like many movies depicting the time period. It depicts life is it was. There was joy, there was sadness, there was anger and there was compassion. Visually the movie is colourful and vibrant, as opposed to dark and dull. The characters are well-written and unique, and will often break the pre-determined notions of fictional characters from that era. The movie has received criticism for not taking the subject matter seriously enough. This type of criticism might be some of the most stupid and down-right dangerous criticism which can be given. This movie tells a story from a well-known time period in a very different way, which is just what is needed. The movie doesn't aim to tell you how bad the nazis were, it assumes you already know this. The movie portrays them in a different way with one purpose in mind: to laugh at them. It helps people understand that authoritarian regimes aren't stopped by anger. They are stopped when everyone stops taking them seriously. The nazis don't deserve the respect to be feared. They deserve to be ridiculed and made to look like the stupid donkeys that they are.

However, even ignoring the purpose and message of the movie, and its social commentary. The movie tells a heartwarming, hilarious and sometimes gut-wrenching story which will take you on a roller coaster of emotions like no other. I'm not going to pretend like everyone will love this movie, but it is a movie everyone should watch and form their own opinion about.

Give it a try.… Expand

The rest about the boy and the girl is at most mildly interesting...there are a couple of dramatic notes that have a strong effect, but other than that it just mostly fell flat. Creating a blend between comedy and drama is tricky and this film unfortunately fell into the neither here nor there category, where instead of complementing each other both elements mostly cancelled each other out.

Siempre resulta problemático encarar una comedia sobre el nazismo y Waititi lo logra bastante bien, con su historia (y desde el punto de vista de) sobre un niño de 10 años que ingresa a las Hitlerjugend (Juventudes Hitlerianas) a finales de la guerra, su madre y un secreto que no tardará en descubrir en su casa.

El niño parte de un furibundo nazismo alimentado con sus charlas imaginarias con el mismo Hitler (acaso lo menos logrado de la película) en lo que constituye una novela de aprendizaje e iniciación.
Muchos críticos reprochan que en ciertos tramos (uno de ellos una escena devastadora) la película abandone su humor ácido, satírico y certero (incluidas notables secuencias de humor gráfico), pero creo que estos momentos oscuros y duros son ineludibles, necesarios.

Sin embargo, hay más de una escena, en especial una muy lograda (los invito a decir cuál, con aviso de spoiler en los comentarios) donde el director logra la coexistencia de lo cómico con lo siniestro.
La reconstrucción de época es primorosa, muy alemana.

La actuación del niño Roman Griffin Davies (personaje con algunos ecos de El tambor de hojalata de Schlöndorf) es descomunal y Scarlett Johansson es su luminosa mamá.

...........................................................................................................................................................
Successful portrait of horror as a comedy

It is always problematic to face a comedy about Nazism and Waititi manages it quite well, with his story (and from the point of view of) about a 10-year-old boy who enters the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) at the end of the war, his mother and a secret that she will soon discover at home.

The child starts from a furious Nazism fueled by his imaginary talks with Hitler himself (perhaps the least successful of the film) in what constitutes a novel of learning and initiation.

Many critics reproach that in certain sections (one of them a devastating scene) the film abandons its acid, satirical and accurate humor (including notable sequences of graphic humor), but I believe that these dark and hard moments are inescapable, necessary.

However, there is more than one scene, especially a very successful one where the director achieves the coexistence of the comic with the sinister.
The period reconstruction is exquisite, very German.

The performance of the child Roman Griffin Davies (character with some echoes of The Tin Drum of Schlöndorf) is huge and Scarlett Johansson is the bright mother of him.… Expand

The appearance of Hitler as imaginary friend makes this movie more fun and more lively to be watched with everybody in your living room during Lockdown. The story line is simple, but the plots, scenes, character developments, and surprises are still coming to our way to realize about what is missing during moment of war and who is our true friend during difficult time. I love the way Director can give strong commitment to create focus on main character by giving the title Jojo Rabbit, that makes him more curiosity about himself and questioning many things, including where is his soldier father, what is Jewish, who is Hitler, and many more.

JoJo Rabbit is an unlikely film. Its very concept seems absurd but it's that absurdity that director Taika Waititi taps into to offer a commentary on the dangers of fascism and ignorance.

I've seen a number of critics claim that the film isJoJo Rabbit is an unlikely film. Its very concept seems absurd but it's that absurdity that director Taika Waititi taps into to offer a commentary on the dangers of fascism and ignorance.

I've seen a number of critics claim that the film is without insight, or is a dereliction of duty. One critic review gave it a 0/10. (But don't worry, Metacritic doesn't make critics wait to post a 0/10.)...

As you can see? JoJo Rabbit is another film that shows a disparity between critics and the audience. To claim it is without merit I feel is missing the big picture. The film starts out showing archival footage of Nazi Germany caught in the throes of the political fervor instilled by their tyrannical leader. Germany at the time was buckling under the reparations from WW1. Hitler was able to tap into the resentment and twist it into hatred and anger directing the blame towards the Jewish people. It's this same widespread indoctrination that sees JoJo Betzler fervently striving to be accepted among the Hitler youth. JoJo Betzler is so consumed by this propaganda that he sees Hitler himself (played by Taika Waititi) as his imaginary friend. And while Hitler is played as comic relief for the purpose of satire to great effect? The film has an incredible ability to take the kind of fear and terror instilled by the Nazi's and make them feel quite real compared to the satire and parody elsewhere in the film.

It's difficult to say how or why these specific moments are as effective as they are without ruining the ultimate payoff. The film's greatest strength is how it shows the capacity for a person to change. Not just the person but the ideas that can form and cultivate deep-seated systemic and indoctrinated hatred, particularly those at a young age.… Expand

If you are looking for a movie-documentary of WW2 this will not be your kind of movie, but in the other hand if you are familiar with the independent work of Waititi, you will love it, it reminded me this feeling that “La Vita e Bella” had.

No, this is not a bad film, but as a man whose grandfather fought on the wrong side (he was a Soviet soldier), it’s sometimes unpleasant to watch.

Of course, when in the film theNo, this is not a bad film, but as a man whose grandfather fought on the wrong side (he was a Soviet soldier), it’s sometimes unpleasant to watch. Maybe if I were an American, I would put the movie 8 or even 9. Of course, when in the film the Nazis say that Russians eat children and rape dogs, it's okay, because it is Nazi propaganda. But when in the end of the film you see, that they was wrong only with dogs, it's make me sad. No, of course, they did not eat the jojo, I said it to sound better, but they tried to execute him, which is also not good. And the jojo survived, only thanks to a good Nazi. Do you know what else is insulting? The turning point in the war was after the landing in Italy by the Americans and the British. The city in which the jojo lives was taken by the Americans (it is their flag that appears in the film every time around is fun and good). And only when need to do some dirty work Soviet soldiers appear in the film.
A great work has been done by the propaganda of all countries to dispel myths about the Jews. And that's fine, they now even have their own state. But the state of Soviet people is destroyed, and the myths of the Goebbels time are gaining strength.
Short afterword:
Sorry, if you see somewhere grammatical or punctuation or lexical or any other mistake, I’m not a native speaker of English, I’m only learning. I would probably give the film 8 points, even if it just did not have the Soviet army, well, the Americans won and okay, it's somehow more familiar.… Expand

The film is pretty much 100 minutes of hilarious Nazi mocking satire with some genuinely serious moments. It mostly revolves around a 10 year old kid who has been brainwashed into being a Nazi fanatic but after an unexpected encounter, he slowly starts to see that being a Nazi sucks. That is my summary of this film anyway.

First of all, I have to praise the story/screenplay as despite delving into the topic that has been done to death in film and TV; it still manages to handle it in a rather creative and unique way. It does this by being a dark feel good movie which is just so weird for a movie about Nazi Germany. He portrays the absurdity of war through the perspective of a child lending to some wacky moments. However, Taika manages to balance this goofy comedy with the grim cruelty of the Nazi's which is what makes this movie exceptionally unique and enjoyable. I also have to praise the performance of everyone in this film with special mention to Scarlett Johansson,Sam Rockwell and Taika Waititi as Hitler himself. Scarlett manages to inject some genuine feel good moments in this film and Sam Rockwell giving a hilarious over the top Nazi soldier but still give a contrasting serious performance when he needs to. Taika himself playing Hitler just feels so weird but that is exactly what the story needed and it just works. Likewise, Roman Griffin Davis as the titled character "Jojo" and Archie Yates as his friend "Yorki" have great chemistry reminding me of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Despite being child actors they really managed to give a great performance that doesn't irritate you. I also want to note the score which isn't 1917 amazing but is quite unique and different for a WWII film with its German renditions of western songs which also lends to the uniqueness of this film.

Despite my praise, this movie is not for everyone. There are a lot of stereotypes, historical inaccuracies and lack of realism that might grind people the wrong way. There are certain tonal shifts that can feel really sudden rather than subtle that can be slightly jarring. It can also be argued that the movie doesn't really dive deep into the genuinely horrifying things about Nazi Germany and that it plays a bit too safe. Personally, I do think there were some missing opportunities to explore Jojo's character with the surprising lack of interaction with his friend Yorki and that the Jewish character was only used as a love interest and a writing device to get Jojo out of Nazi mindset.

However, in my opinion those flaws, historical accuracy etc, don't necessarily matter too much to a film. In the end, a film is meant to be enjoyable and I most certainly enjoyed this film. Films can also you leave you with a sense of message gained and this film certainly does that as well. This movie is certainly a great time and it is rather ambitious as well. I highly recommend you give this movie a chance.… Expand

It has a ton of comedy both light and very dark! Don’t be fooled, though. This is less The Producers or Look Who’s Back and more Life is Beautiful. There are some seriously heavy and tragic parts in this movie that I don’t dare spoil here. While it is a commentary about how childish the whole idea of Naziism is, it is also about the horrors of indoctrination and intolerance and the damages they can inflict. Great performances, beautiful costumes and cinematography and with a brilliant script, this is a must-see! One of my favourites of 2019!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Sinopsis:

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un niño que pertenece a las Juventudes Hitlerianas descubre que su madre está ocultando en el ático de su casa a una niña judía. La concepción del mundo que tienen el pequeño y su amigo imaginario, Hitler, cambia por completo con la irrupción en sus vidas de la joven hebrea.

Mi opinión:

Amé ésta película, es sencillamente maravillosa y cautivadora, los personajes poseen mucho carisma y puedes fácilmente encariñarte con ellos, la dirección de Taika Waititi es muy peculiar pero muy buena y fuera de lo típico sabiendo mezclar el buen sentido del humor con el drama, el guión es adorable y ni hablar de los diálogos, fue como estar leyendo un cuento.

Me sentí alegre y conmovido durante toda la película, aunque no pude evitar derramar lágrimas en algunas partes, es toda una belleza.

As earlier films have demonstrated, it occasionally required some violent shoots with explicit blood as Saving Private Ryan, hostile behaviour towards the Jude population to the point it could affect the audience sensibility as Schindler's List. Nevertheless, for some reason, Jojo Rabbit is an excellent example of how we can change the viewpoint of memorable events in history even in the darkest hours. Indeed, young spectators will understand, have fun and, more important, learn from past errors which affected millions of innocent souls."
...
Jojo Rabbits exceeds the initial expectations you might have before you bought the ticket to the theatre. It serves as a portrayal of children indoctrination through society. The manner they normalise violence, racism towards Judes, blind subordination to the Fuhrer, and so forth. The sense of humour touches these themes, so correctly, it does not impact the audience aggressively. The film introduces rough, gentle and bold characters who are flawlessly performed by a spectacular cast.
...
Honourably, 2019 was the year of Scarlet Johansson owing to her phenomenal roles in Avengers: Endgame, Marriage Story and her sweetest performance I have witnessed so far in Jojo Rabbit. Furthermore, the friendship of Roman Griffin [Jojo Betzler] and Archie Yates [Yorki] without being aware of what was going on during Nazi Germany is an absolute win. In spite of being children, they have demonstrated engaging chemistry and comradeship during the montage. The best part is that aside from the film, for example, at the red carpet of the UK, this twosome interacts as if they were long-time mates which makes their bonds grow even stronger.
...
When it comes to comedy, there is always a compound of experience [actress Rebel Wilson from "Pitch Perfect" and Taika Waititi from "Thor: Ragnarok"] cheering up the atmosphere alongside with refreshed sense of childlike humour provided by German youngsters. Amidst jokes, you can find hidden facts about the Hitlerjugend as it is the case of splitting boys [to military duties and heavy tasks] and girls [to the Bund Deutscher Mädel so that they specialise on how to become exemplary housewives and raise the next generation properly]. Charming Rosie Betzler [Scarlet Johansson] is a verdict representation of the national resistance against Hitler. Despite the danger it represented, the personas fight for what each of them believes, this is another reason why I consider this film a chef-d'oeuvre. Don't miss the opportunity to watch it!

Marvelous movie that has a mix of different styles which makes you to laugh and cry. Excellent actor's play, few reference on other films by scenes and great version of child vision of war with fun and drama

Very lighthearted, soft and innocent film that everyone must watch. It manages to take a serious topic and narrate it in a manner which is acceptable yet fun.
