Jojo Rabbit Hops To The Top

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2020)

Jojo Rabbit is one of the most superb movies released this year. It may appear as just a comedy taking the mickey out of Nazis, but it's so much more than that. This movie is a beautifully told story about a boy who, through being manipulated and brainwashed through properganda, is absolutely obsessed with and idolises Adolf Hitler, then slowly starts to realise how cruel the Nazis are. Roman Griffin Davis delivers the best child performance I've ever seen in a movie. His delivery is always perfect and he's never wooden. The supporting cast are all fantastic, the standouts being Sam Rockwell and Thomasin McKenzie. When the movie becomes serious, it can be genuinely tragic and moving and the depiction of the atrocities of the Nazis is incredible. Not a single act is made up. Everything the Nazis do, think and say in this movie, they did, thought and said in real life. Jojo Rabbit is an astonishingly amazing cinematic achievement that deserves your attention. Please go and see this masterpiece.
