A movie worth watching

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2020)

Ever since the trailers for JoJo Rabbit came out, I was a bit nervous about the film and whether will it be able to handle such a delicate subject in a satirical manner but Taika Waititi proved me wrong.
The movie is basically about a boy (Roman Griffin Davies) imagining him being friends with Hitler (Taika Waititi) who gives him advice on how to be a Nazi. He later finds out that his mother (Scarlett Johannson) is harboring a young Jewish woman upstairs in the wall. The boy being a radical Hitler supporter has to come in terms with his morals.
Taika Waititi successfully changed the tone of the film in a second, making it play with your emotions. He was able to maintain a balance between them.
The cinematography and production design was spot on. It legit felt like a World War 2 setting. The soundtrack for the film felt a bit offtrack and did not amplify the movie experience in any way.
The cast is packed with some fan favorites like Stephen Merchant, Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson. The chemistry between Thomasin McKenzie and Roman Griffin Davies was believable and it delivered in some funny and tensed moments.
This felt like a timeless movie and the recurring themes seemed relevant in current generation.
