Best Anti-War Black Comedy I've seen

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2020)

While not as agonisingly heart breaking as Life is Beautiful, I think Jojo Rabbit runs a stronger line of black comedy, that at any moment in my theatre had half the audience laughing, and the other half holding their breath.
All the performances were excellent, and I think this was Taika Waititi's best. While he mostly played the character of 10 year old Jojo's imaginary best friend (Hitler) for laughs, there were moments when he would channel the nascent violence from the real Fuhrer's newsreel speeches that were truly frightening.
Sam Rockwell plays it perfectly as always, in what I think was a nuanced portrayal of a man who could see the end coming.
I am a fan of Scarlett Johansson. She delivers here.
The story felt embedded in events, within a place, which I don't think I've felt with the Directors previous films.
While I haven't seen all the contenders, I really hope this takes Best Picture at the Oscars.
