Black Comedy Plus Tragedy that I Want to Watch Again Soon!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2019)

I seldom want to watch a movie again, without quite a bit of time passing between viewings. But after seeing this yesterday, I want to watch it again very, very soon. I loved every minute of it and I also missed quite a lot of the dialogue because the audience were laughing so much - two good reasons to see it again.
I would say that this is a "black comedy" with the quirky humour one has come to expect of Waititi, but there were also very sad and poignant moments, plus wonderful music taken from the soundtrack of my life (albeit the German versions).
I think all the actors gave wonderful performances but I was pleasantly surprised by Scarlett Johansson (Rosie, the mother). I thought she was better in this movie than in anything else I have seen her in. Roman Griffin Davis (JoJo) was also great. At times he seemed to try a German accent and didn't quite pull it off, but that was a minor peeve. As Archie Yates (Yorki) and others did, I reckon he could have just not bothered with the accent.
This review is going to be way too long if I say something about all the performances, so I will end off now by saying simply, "Go see it for yourself!"
