Expertly delivered satire

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2020)

This story is one of few told from the perspective of a child which makes the film really unique. The fact that it's a fanatic child struggling with nationalism, fanaticism, love and humanity while living in a dictatorship makes it especially interesting and thought provoking. Taika Waititi does an excellent job delivering this sad and heartwarming satire peppered with plenty of laughs. The cast nails it! This is a lovely offbeat film that certainly deserves its Oscar nominations and win. I would definitely recommend viewing.
