Review: 'Jojo Rabbit' is a comedy-drama film directed by Taika Waititi, It is based on Christine Leunens's book 'Caging Skies'. I was excited to watch this movie once I heard it was a comedy that was nominated for Best Picture and written and directed by Taika Waititi. I was very disappointed as I was watching it and by the time it was over, I was actually upset about what I seen. Roman Griffin Davis portrays the title character, Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a Hitler Youth member who finds out his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs, while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend, a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler (Waititi). Starting off with the acting, it was pretty good. I'm glad Scarlett Johansson got an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress; she was really good in the film. There is a lot of talk about how good Roman Griffin Davis was in film, but I didn't really find he was that great. Sure, he did a good job keeping up with the adult actors, but it wasn't anything special. I especially liked Sam Rockwell as the general who was training the kids to be Nozi soldiers. It may just be the fact that this movie just wasn't for me, and that may well be the case given the great reviews it was been getting. I didn't laugh during the film and I found the overall story to be a little confusing. I know Taika Waititi is a director who like to do things out of the ordinary and I respect that type of film making a lot. This one just didn't hit me the way I was expecting. Overall, it may just be the fact that I personally didn't like the film. If you like movies that take a heart-breaking situation and puts an outrageous spin on it, check this one out for sure. I can't see myself revisiting it, so I can't personally recommend it. 2/5
