A funny, tender piece on human connection in Third Reich times.

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2020)

First off, when you think about the thematic concept of this film, you wonder about the very specific tone it requires for the comedy to work, without affecting and unbalancing the drama, since even nowadays can still be quite a touchy subject matter. Yet, Taika Watiti's magnificent and well-deserved Oscar winning screenplay adapted from a novel, goes to show what a great thing it is to still have creativity put into heartfelt cinema in a cultural world where remakes, reboots and reunions seem to be the general agenda to commercialize. Creativity even in a thematic field where many have come and gone on numerous ocassions, where is hard to tell stories that can genuinely make one laugh within the somber context of the situation, without taking any seriousness of it, and that's where the story is successful, where one can cherish the proper execution, where every single actor played their parts extremely well that helped the story flow so smoothly.
Jojo Rabbit has incredibly well-written characters which is where it resides its clue to function as a dark comedy, given its disconcerting times.
Jojo's interactions with his mother are quite clever, and can leave an impression on you; and scenes with Elsa have such a comedic weight that gives you such joy that you're instantly reminded that usually these kinds of stories don't end up too well.
I believe this film will be remembered for years to come and it will come to be even more appreciated than it is today. This is one that I can watch over and over again.
