One of the best films of 2019

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2020)

I watched half the trailer and thought "meh".
I recently saw it in the cinema (Australia got the film a bit late), and wow, it was probably the one of the best films Ive seen all year (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Lighthouse can't be beat in my opinion but it might be third place for me). I normally don't enjoy comedy films on the same level as more serious films, but I did know I loved the comedic style of Thor Ragnarok so I decided to give it a try.
I was expecting a comedy film about Nazis to be widely panned as being grossly offensive but I was pleasantly surprised at the reviews and awards it got nominated for, and I gotta say, it satirised the living crap out of Nazi Germany, while still somehow remaining tasteful, full of heart, sweet and heartbreaking all at the same time.
I've seen a bunch of negative reviews on this film, but reading them, they sure sound like a bunch of downers.
The entire cinema was laughing so hard and I was laughing through tears of sadness as well as tears of joy. There were a lot of tears and a lot of laughs.
Amazing film.
