Jojo Rabbit

Taika Waititi's comedy about a budding young Nazi exhausts its satire early...

Combining a tragedy of this proportion with humor, even if it is satirical, is a precarious tightrope walk that director Taika Waititi performs with panache.

Taika Waititi's film is tender, daring, and sharp -- precisely pitched so that it keeps its path steady and its ambitions in check.

I suspect the strangely good-natured feel of the film will win the hearts of many viewers, but my own head remained too muddled by its uneven and oddly indecisive approach to embrace whatever quirky virtues it may possess.

The tonal shifts in Jojo Rabbit don't work because they're not seriously intended, the intention here being instead to remain consistently cute.

Taika Waititi's most daring film isn't his most successful. But among the tonal clashes there's real hope, humanity, and no-bones-about-it Nazi-bashing at a time when that's depressingly necessary.

...will divide critics and audiences, even as it picks up award nominations. For some, the subject matter cannot be laughed about, even if JoJo Rabbit's heart seems to be in the right place...it's comedy with a point, and the timing is right on the money.

The film does have the power to make you laugh and cry. At times it may not be easy to watch but at the end of the day this is a film so powerful that it deserves to be mentioned alongside great Holocaust films such as Schindler’s List.

Jojo Rabbit is a parody of Nazism, where the idea of ​​a fanatical child who dialogues with the “spectre/presence” of Hitler is very original. However, all subsequent development loses originality since it seems like a fusion of previous films such as...

It relentlessly mocks not only the disgusting prejudice woven into extreme right-wing ideology, but, frankly, the inherently ridiculous nature of many Nazi beliefs.
