Jo Jo Rabbit

I’ll admit: I was apprehensive. A comedy about Hitler? Seems touchy. It would take a genius to strike the right balance in tone. Jo Jo Rabbit jumps from goofy, Monte Python humor to the true horrors of war and back again. As skeptical as I was, Taika Waititi and company succeed splendidly. This was great. Because it’s NOT a comedy about Hitler. It’s about a child imagining Hitler - rendering and reconciling the Nazi youth and how stupid war is. It’s a journey, to be sure. The mood swings are wild. But the performances are top-notch. The style and design is genial. The filmmakers swung for the fences and knocked it out of the park. You cannot help but admire them for, above all else, the risk.
