The end of WW2 through the eyes of a child and his imaginary friend

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2020)

With all the talk of lack of diversity in awards ceremonies... another group could be overlooked. Young Actors. Roman Griffin Davis is handed a huge role here with heaps of screen time and dialogue. What a great performance. He nails it.
A young boy endures the end of the War in Europe whilst the war puts an end to his childhood. Befriending a Jewish Girl who has been hidden by his mother. His choices, friendships and key moments are guided by the imagined friendly guidance of Hitler (aptly the Director - Taika Waititi - casting himself in this mode of Direction).
Great supporting acting from Stephen Merchant, Rebel Wilson and Sam Rockwell... but Roman Griffin Davis steals the show in this heartwarming, tear-jerking, beautifully written black comedy. Recommended.
