Female Jewish Jesse Owens

Rating: 8/10 (29 February 2020)

One of the funniest lines in a movie chock full of them! I love Whatiti's work: between this and What We Do In the shadows (t.v. and film) he's quickly become one of my favorite directors who's work I can view multiple times. The 2 children actors r absolutely adorable (jojo being heartbroken because his grandfather wasn't blond) and that Yorki kid had some of the best lines... I was surprised at the low metascore with low scoring critics saying this didn't go far enough to show how bad Nazis were. I thought it did what was necessary: we all know how deplorable they were (sadly still are). The last 30-20 minutes were striking, my heart sank when I saw Rosie's hanging feet.
All in all the cast was great, even rebel Wilson who I sometimes find grating, was used perfectly; her scene at the pool was hilarious! Keep up the good work Whatiti!!
