Jojo Rabbit

An extremely funny story about a young member of the Hitlerjugend that takes place during World War II. Jojo is blessed with neither height nor popularity; his only real friend is an imaginary one, but he happens to be Hitler himself (Taika Waititi). Jojo confides in Hitler about his worries and troubles, and above all he asks for advice on key matters, such as how to be the best little Nazi he can be, how to recognize Jews, and what to do when you discover a young and extremely talkative representative of the chosen people (Thomasin McKenzie) within the walls of your own home. Hitler doesn’t always know the answer, and he usually only adds to the chaos and uncertainty of Jojo’s life, but the friendship between these two completely mismatched individuals remains rock-solid. In Jojo Rabbit, Waititi leads a phenomenal cast of actors (Johansson, Rockwell, Wilson, Merchant), who show through their performances that even the terror of war can be discussed with detachment and humor, even if, at first glance, that seems highly unlikely. A reviewer for The Wrap called the film a risky premise, and „Total Film" said it [shared] DNA with Monty Python, Moonrise Kingdom, The Great Dictator and even ’Allo ’Allo.
