Jojo Rabbit

It won't connect with everyone. But if it does, the film by Taika Waititi will take you on a rollercoaster ride filled with emotional ups and downs. One of 2019's best films.

The picture doesn't feel like an absolute failure or even a cheat. It's more like a movie with too many ideas that hasn't quite figured out how to pull them all together.

Boldly creative in the style of Wes Anderson but with his own satirical quirks, Waititi's Jojo Rabbit is among 2019's best films.

Jojo Rabbit is told in a way that could only be done by Taika Waititi, and has become one of the most misunderstood films of the year.

Edgy and intriguing, reminding younger generations what happened more than 70 years ago.

Ultimately Jojo is a film about change: the possibility and process of it; how it happens; why it's compelling to watch.

Drawing on his own experiences with prejudice growing up Jewish, writer-director Waititi makes a powerful and humorous satire of Nazi culture, a statement against hate, and a look at the absurdity of violence.

One of the best films of the year, Jojo Rabbit nimbly zips through the full gamut of emotions: It's by turns uproarious, warm, heart-rending, horrifying, silly, surreal, scary and joyous.

The New Zealand director somehow, inexplicably, keeps hitting the right notes to make his peculiar composition work

Taika Waititi has somehow managed to make a dark comedy with Hitler as one of the lead characters that's thought-provoking and hugely entertaining. It's also irresistible in all its weirdness.
