JOJO RABBIT infuses a modicum of hope and innocence in the face of inconceivable man-made horror and adversity,

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2020)

"You cannot not hark back to Roberto Benigni's well-wrought laughter/lachrymose diptych LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (1997) when you are watching JOJO RABBIT, the former (which this reviewer just re-watched recently on the big screen), albeit often too facile in its second-half concentration camp tall story, holds firmly the distinction of infusing a modicum of hope and innocence in the face of inconceivable man-made horror and adversity, and Taika Waititi's sixth feature strives for the same aim, but by dint of a droll satire embedded with a cutesy Wes Anderson-esque mise en scène."
