A surprising delight

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2020)

Who could have thought a dark humour film about the Hitler's Youth set in the back drop be this good? The premise of this film is that a mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in her house but her son JoJo(Roman Davis) discovers this secret....
JoJo has an imagery friend that steals the film... What makes this film so good is the well written script & the remarkable cast. The comedy stem from the lies that he is taught from this German propaganda & poor JoJo spouts them out as though it is the absolute truth. I found both Rebel Wilson & Stephen Merchant hilarious. Even though it has those funny moments throughout this film, in its core it still shows the real tragedies of the war.
