Incredibly powerful

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2020)

I have now seen the movie twice. I watched it solo on friday and again today with my husband. I loved it the first time but even more so the second time, I was able to capture more of the brilliant dialogue and nuances. This made me laugh(which is amazing based on the subject matter, it made me feel sick and it made me cry and rejoice for the goodness of human kind all in the space of 1 hour and 45 min.
The acting by Mckenzie was INCREDIBLE and by far one of my favorite movie characters of all time. She was able to be strong and vulnerable at the same time. She was incredibly authentic.
I think my main take from the movie is summed up in one of the best lines, when Rosie and Jojo are looking at the recently hanged people in the street he asks her "what did they do?" and she replies "what they could". So much power in this, and he later states it to himself when the war ends. We all can do a little to end hate, to be our best selves, to improve the world around us and dance because we are free.
Highly suggest watching this. I recognize its a hard topic to have comedy and satire, but recognizing the director is of Jewish heritage helps this sentiment a lot. I also am a Jew and found this to be a great take and shows how tragic it ways and horrendous through a new lens.
