2019 Directed by Taika Waititi
A World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism.

JOJO兔, 少年乔乔的异想世界, Caging Skies
sorry tarantino, taika’s the only director that can give me chills by filming a woman’s feet
Unexpectedly phenomenal. An absurd amount of passion and heart put into a film that shouldn’t work at all but miraculously does. Something no filmmaker besdies Watiti could pull off in this way. I’d go from embarrassingly scream laughing at Hitler jumping out of a window to being on the verge of tears. A breath of fresh air for this subject matter. If there was a film that truly felt like it needed to happen in 2019, it was Jojo Rabbit.
Scarlett Johansson absolutely nails the role of a German woman who is actually from both Long Island & Nigeria. Nick Frost and the Benjamin Button VFX team absolutely nail the role of Jojo’s best friend Yorki. Sam Rockwell, for the umpteenth time, absolutely nails the role of “virulent racist who is actually good.” Taika Waititi absolutely nails the role of guy who reminds you how much you like Life is Beautiful and Wes Anderson.
"What did they do?"
"What they could."
I sobbed all the way through the credits. I couldn't even begin to compose myself. I was absolutely shaken to my core. And once I was able to find my footing and exit the theater, the first thing I did was buy a ticket to see it again.
Jojo Rabbit is a story of overcoming blind fanaticism and indoctrination, showcasing that monsters aren't born; they're made. They're manipulated. The transition Waititi's Adolf Hitler goes through over the course of the movie, from quirky companion to the furious, foaming-at-the-mouth espouser of hatred we know him as, illustrates the inner turmoil Jojo experiences as he grows to defy his twisted "conscience".
This is supported immensely…
CIFF 2019: film #4
“she doesn’t want to talk to me”
“well... you are a nazi”
very worthwhile, but the tonal shifts are somehow too sharp and also too mild simultaneously. this feels like it was missing an element or two. but it’s a difficult topic to spin into a comedy and also show immense and genuine empathy for, and taika did it much better than most could have
Liked it so much this time around. One of the best uses of music of the year!
"You're not a Nazi, Jojo. You're a ten year old kid, who likes swastikas and likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club. But you are not one of them."
If there's one thing we've learned from the past couple years, it's that people are all too willing to make excuses for Nazis. Whether from the left, right, or center, we hear it constantly. Nazis aren't so bad. They're just people with different opinions. They aren't dangerous. They aren't even Nazis, and saying they are is what's really offensive. So I think a Jewish artist is presented with a responsibility. We can't make compromises on depicting Nazis. The scope of the Holocaust is…
Absolutely love it. The child performances are next level. A very special film. May be my fave of the year.
Watched at Cineplex Odeon Intl. Village - Vancouver
The THE GOLDFINCH of movies about kids who are imaginary best friends with Hitler.
Drags a bit more in that first half than I remember but I still think that war scene is one of my favorites of the year!
“Love is the Strongest Thing in the World.”
Wow. This was phenomenal. The film is very Taika Waititi in some ways, but also it’s almost hard to believe he made this. Not that I doubt his ability to make good movies, I’ve really liked every film of his that I’ve seen, but this was just truly something special. This was one of the most important and greatest films of the last decade and one of the most emotional movies I’ve ever seen as Waititi and the amazing cast brilliantly balanced all of the many feelings you will feel while watching this film. Anyone who doubts his ability to bring out true emotion other than humor should watch this and I…
the definition of bittersweet although i did wish to know what happens to them in the future
Sous les yeux innocents du petit garçon qui voulait jouer aux grands se révèle l’inhumanité de la guerre et la violence d’idéologies morbides. Drôle puis bouleversant, Jojo Rabbit est une satire passionnante où la douceur des personnages répond à la cruauté du monde. De grands rôles pour Scarlett Johansson et Sam Rockwell, tandis que les jeunes acteurs, poignants, viennent poser le juste regard sur les belles idées de mise en scène de Taika Waititi.

The soundtrack is amazing, I love how they make this movie so light and emotional at the same time
Am I the only person in the world who isn’t head over heels for this movie? The comedy was subpar and it didn’t really explore anything that I haven’t seen one million times before. Was a fun idea but the execution was weak.
Taika Waititi is definitely gonna be one of the greatest modern directors. Hes a excellent director and writer
"Fuck off Hitler!!"
That one line shows how good he is as a writer. Great movie
eu definitivamente nao sabia o que esperar de um filme de COMÉDIA sobre a alemanha nazista, mas o filme superou qualquer expectativa. muito fofo & lindo...
people have to stop making instagram edits for films.
i saw an ig edit of this a year ago and made me discouraged to ever watch it. it made me think it was going to be those cliché quirky period films.
the "Taika's Inglorious Moonrise Kingdom" review perfectly sums up what the film is like
never going to misjudge another Taika Waititi film again
Had absolutely zero qualms with this movie, Taika Waititi truly outdid himself, directing a perfect blend of comedy, drama, and suspense, crafting such beautiful scenery, and organizing an amazing soundtrack. I have no words for how much I enjoyed this movie.
An bold example of absurdist humor in film, Jojo Rabbit manages to be both hilarious and serious at the same time. Driven by strong characters, brash humor (that no other film could pull off), and strong acting, this film manages to be thoroughly entertaining and speak a lot about human nature and propaganda.
My only criticism is that the film didn't pay too much attention to detail. Some plot points and characters weren't explained very well, and this confused me at times. Overall, though, I really enjoyed it.
