Jojo Rabbit Review

The writing is brilliant, the visual aspects were picturesque, just about everything in this film is lovely. Every character is unique and human and complex. I don't like Scarlett Johansson all that much yet I couldn't help but love her character in this. Elsa, the Jewish girl hidden in the home of JoJo, is a funny, likable and realistic character. I love her so much. While generally comedic, charming, and light-hearted there are moments in this film that pull you back into reality and the seriousness of Nazi Germany and the war. There wasn't a single uninteresting moment. I understand if you have doubts about this film but I recommend seeing this if you have even just a slight interest. It's a beautiful film about a friendship that overcomes hate, as Roman Griffin Davis has put it. (He's a brilliant actor. I can't wait to see what he does next!) It's so nice to see an original take on WW2. I admire Taika Waititi so much.
