Probably the only movie that will ever successfully be a comedy and a Holocaust drama simultaneously

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2019)

Any other movie that tries or has ever tried to make a comedy out of being a Nazi in WWII has, or will, inevitably fail. It SHOULD be impossible. There should be no way to take that kind of subject matter and treat it with the respect it deserves, while also maintaining a lighthearted, comedic tone. But this, this actually does it flawlessly. Some of the humor isn't even that dark, and it still works consistently.
Now don't get me wrong, this movie gets pretty hard to watch. Really hard to watch at times.And yet, right up until the end, it never loses it's audience or goes TOO deep into the dark stuff. It masterfully walks a tightrope between the horrors of war/Nazi-ism on one side, and a child coming of age on the other, with Taika Watiti's signature brand of weird comedy weaved throughout. Honestly I think it could even be a solid introduction for children who don't know about WWII, it's that good.
The performances are fantastic across the board, the dialogue is brilliant, the cinematography has some great moments, etc. In conclusion, it's good, go watch it. Especially if you're a Nazi.
