"'Jojo Rabbit' is undoubtedly one of the most surprising movies of the 2019-2020 awards season. Director Taika Waititi ('What We Do in the Shadows' and 'Thor: Ragnarok') uses a child's mind to present the evils of extremism with a lot of humor. In the name of leaders we never see and through brainwashing we prefer not to see, we fight wars, repeat prejudices and preach ideals that have little to do with ourselves. Special mention for the performances of Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell and Waititi himself, but the show is really from young Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie. It is definitely not a story for all tastes and there is more drama and tears than the funny trailers let on, but it is certainly a movie that needs to be seen - and unfortunately and frighteningly, echoes a lot of today's world."
