Quite Simply Put - One Of The Best Films I've Seen!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2020)

Jojo Rabbit is quite simply one of the best films I've seen. I would say this year, but its only January 5th - so I'm happy to put that claim into the 'ever' section of my reviews!
With such simplicity, director Taika Waititi gives us an emotional roller-coaster ride of hilarious comedy, heartbreaking moments, poignant scenes, romance, friendship, realism, and war... And he delivers it almost flawlessly in one of the greatest satirical movies ever.
Child actor Roman Griffin Davis is just super cute as Jojo, delivering an incredible performance as a dedicated child of Hitlers youth who's only dream is to be in his army and is guided through life by his imaginary friend - Hitler himself, played hilariously by director Taika!
Taika just nails it as an insecure leader of the people, offering up ridiculous plans and ideas to try and guide little Jojo through life as a nazi. His portrayal of der Fuher is just brilliant and, to me, came across like a human version of Bugs Bunny in many physical moments as well as his silly ideas...
Loved it!
In fact, the casting of everyone involved just works wonderfully!! I couldn't find fault with any of them. Scarlett was brillaint as his mother as was Thomasin McKenzie as his Jew friend-love-interest hiding in the attic. Sam Rockwell and Alfie Allen's hidden love was so well done, as were their characters, and Jojo's little friend Yorki is equally as cute and funny with his little random scenes and delivery, but for me, RGD totally steals the show as Jojo - delivering a number of heartbreaking moments with such a natural performance.
I love Jojo Rabbit and can't wait to see it again!
An amazing film!!
