Jojo Rabbit tells the story of a 10-year-old Nazi supporter, Jojo(Roman Griffin Davis). Jojo discovers that his mother Rosie(Scarlett Johansson), is hiding a Jewish girl named Elsa(Thomasin McKenzie), in their house.
Jojo Rabbit is a fantastic film. Writer-director Taika Waititi has given us another masterpiece after, What We Do in the Shadows(2014), Hunt for the Wilderpeople(2016) & Thor: Ragnarok(2017). This movie is hysterical for the most part. However, there are also scenes that will make you tear up & when the credits start rolling, you will be forced to introspect. That is the beauty of Jojo Rabbit. The performances are the highlight of the film. Roman Griffin Davis knocks it out of the park in his acting debut, as Jojo. Davis carries the movie on his shoulders & portrays a wide variety of emotions, over the course of its run-time. Thomasin McKenzie is spectacular as Elsa. McKenzie gives us a flawless performance & she is an actress to watch out for, in Hollywood. Scarlett Johansson is outstanding as Rosie. Johansson definitely deserves both her Oscar nominations. Best Actress for Marriage Story & Best Supporting Actress for this movie. Taika Waititi is brilliant as Adolf. Waititi brings his signature brand of humor, to his performance. Sam Rockwell is awesome as Captain Klenzendorf. Rebel Wilson is great as Fraulein Rahm. Alfie Allen is superb as Finkel. Stephen Merchant is unforgettable as Deertz. Archie Yates is adorable as Yorki. Jojo Rabbit is a must watch. It deserves all the nominations, this awards season.
