Winter for Hitler

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2020)

It's human nature to deal with horrible events (and people) by laughing at them - and this film does the best job of laughing at the Third Reich since Springtime for Hitler. The comedy is brilliant (who'd've thought you could get laughs out of people saying "Heil Hitler"?) - but with an undercurrent of both biting satire and warm-heartedness. But it's not just a comedy. When **that** happens, the fact that the audience was completely unprepared for it gives it the impact of a physical blow. A superb performance from young Roman Griffin Davis as a child trying to make sense of a mad world. But is the **law** to include a comedy fat kid?
