Manages to somehow be one of the most raw and confronting looks at various aspects of WWII I've ever seen, and yet also often genuinely very funny. I'm not sure if that's really something that you should do... But Taika did anyway, and I loved it.

Emotionally gut-wrenching while also downright brilliant. A must watch

I’d heard a lot of good reviews for this movie and was def let down. Not much of a plot moving the story forward and I didn’t get attached to any of the characters.

Jojo Rabbit is an anti-hate satire that tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who is indoctrinated into the Hitler's Nazi Youth Camp discovers that his mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic, so this boy has to learn on how to deal with it. Aided by his imaginary friend... Adolf Hitler. *Yes I said it right. Hitler is his imaginary friend.* Weirdly for a movie that tells a story about a young boy who wants to be a nazi. The movie shows us about love, acceptance, open-mindedness, and the absurdity & silliness of hate through humor and the view of a 10-year-old kid. This is a complete contrast from the book that the movie was adapted from, "Caging Skies" by Christine Leunens. Which has a dark story. But this movie is cheerful, bright, witty, funny, heartwarming but also heartbreaking at the same time. There's nothing I can hate about this film. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. You'll feel happy, sad, angry, laughter, and other kinds of emotion. I still can't understand how Taika Waititi nailed this kind of emotion. It's a perfect balance. Sadly, the movie can be easily misunderstood by some people and might rub people the wrong way. I highly encouraged everyone to watch this movie. It's one of the most incredible & original stories ever told in cinema. It's bright, heartwarming & funny but doesn't downplay the dark side of the war.

Great imagination, showing aspect of the war through a kid’s eye. Value delivered in a very refreshing way. Love director’s portrait of Hitler.

I rally love Taika Waititi’s movies and this one is no exception. He’s captured this crazy thing between hilarious and devastating which I think is really cool. Another thing is that I have it difficult with today’s child acting but they do it superb in this one.

Jojo Rabbit's blend of irreverent humor and serious ideas definitely won't be to everyone's taste -- but either way, this anti-hate satire is audacious to a fault.
