SIMPLY A GEM OF A FILM!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

It has been a long, long while since I have seen a film that hits me like JoJo Rabbit. It scores on all points, hilarious, touching, and beautifully acted as well. And despite what pseudo critics jer* -offs like Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian thinks, this film is a true gem. I would gladly nominate it for film of the year. For those who wanted a more "serious" tone about the atrocities of WWII this is probably NOT the film for you. Any idiot (like Bradshaw) could easily tell from the trailers that this film wasn't going to be say.."Saving Private Ryan." It was going to be a comedy. And what a comedy it was!! I found myself laughing all the way through (albeit there are some heart wrenching parts where I was tearing up). But that's what a TRULY GREAT film should do.. make you laugh, feel and sometimes cry. Great performances all around (especially the newcomer to me) Archie Yates who plays Jojo's best friend Yorkie. What a beautiful film all around!! Screw the critics and see this magic for yourselves.
