An Honest review of JoJo Rabbit

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2019)

It's a very heart warming story of a young boy who is struggling with his identity in Nazi Germany. The film itself has a good depth of story. If you're coming into this expecting more comedy than drama, you may be disappointed. I personally feel the acting within the film leaves you admiring the cast, as they portray their characters well enough. This story has a heavy emphasis on love and identity. Almost every character in JoJo Rabbit has some element of trying to understand themselves in their day-to-day life, which adds an element of realism to the film. I feel there are good lessons in the film that warrant watching it. The movie is also a tear-jerker. I recommend recognizing that before going in. If you're watching this movie for a lot of laughs, you may find yourself underwhelmed though there is some comedic parts to it, but the underlying moral principles and self-actualization of each character is profoundly demonstrated. Definitely a movie for those who love a good story with character depth.
