Enjoyed the acting, especially, kids. However, at its core, the movie is very shallow and, dare I say, dangerous. The danger is for the younger generation that is going to watch it - they do t really know anything about the war in which 50 million people perished and by watching this they will get a completely wrong idea. Yes, I get it, it's not a historical movie, yet it is what our kids are more likely to see, instead of picking up a book or watching documentaries. And Jojo Rabbit trivialises nazism, making it look rather like a pathetic joke instead of tragic, violent, brutal and extremely dangerous. It mocks German language, linking Nazis to the German accent, where there is very little need for it. And, to top it up, Russian army is presented as villains executing prisoners of war, including little kids, American army is presented in an extremely positive light, twisting the history. No wonder several public officials claimed its allies and not Red Army liberated Auschwitz. That's exactly the issues I've got with this film and other films that choose to turn the most devastating war into a laughing matter.
