I was expecting more of a parody of Nazi-Germany and more of a comedy than a coming-of-age story. It's still some good storytelling though. Both of the young leads are quite good, and I loved Rockwell. It's surprisingly heartfelt and touches on topics like family and acceptance very well, which is probably what makes it so good. I laughed often enough at the Taika Waititi humor and felt for the characters too. All in all, this was very good.

As someone concerned about how extremism can sneak into a society, I should dig this. But from the outset, I found the picture to be too cloying & mawkish to make a strong case on the childish appeal of fascism. It's really hard to root for the lead: a small thug who emotionally tortures a girl. And the emotional wish fulfillment targeted to the audience is way too forced. The point is good, but I just wanted more. Namely Brad Pitt to show up and scalp that little brat. Marginal recommendation.

A compelling damnation and understanding of the indoctrination of youth. While the comedy is present, it's often a bit too black to get a laugh. While it might appear to be a full blooded comedy, it's heavy on the drama and is often too tonally schizophrenic for any one aspect to hit hard enough to count.

You might think it's impossible to make a comedy out of Anne Frank. And you would be correct. Half hour in I thought to myself: "Oh no...I'm not going to like this." From an hour in, I thought "This is mind-bogglingly awful" I couldn't wait for it to end. It's like Wes Anderson's take on Nazi Germany. Ugh. Never laughed, not once. Never smiled, not once. Didn't enjoy a single frame.

Tin Drum with slapstick. Waititi's nazi comedy is appropriately both funny and bleak, and does it quite well... so well it bugs me when it stays just a little too superficial, because both the talent and the setup is there for this to become truly great if it had just dug a little deeper beyond "nazism is BAD, kids".

Waititi’s take on the German perspective of WWII has the whimsy you’d expect (and that the trailer promised), as well as the heart needed to balance the subject matter, but also a surprising amount of poignancy with regards to fanaticism, adolescence, and war. The whimsy and drama split the film into distinct halves, but both are well-acted enough to be engaging and entertaining. The accents are a little patchy, and the final moment didn’t land for me, but a very good film nonetheless.

There are great moments of dark satire (see the training camp), but it's the more intimate scenes (some funny, some poignant, some both) of developing relationships that carry the film-that of JoJo and Adolf (a quirky friendship gets ugly as JoJo grows-see Adolf's anger in the kitchen), Elsa (McKenzie is excellent), and Rosie (see the riverside talk) respectively, and even that of Elsa and Rosie (see the cupboard convo). So the climactic battle felt out of place, but the dance after was perfect.

The movie is funny, often hilariously so, but it will be the intimate poignancy which will stay with me: small moments brought to truly affecting life by the two young leads. The commentary and the heart of the film is in those moments; it does not attempt to be another movie about the holocaust or the evils of war and the Nazis, but rather tells the story of a boy, his mother, and his new friend, and their story is really quite beautiful.

This Waititi feature ranges from childish silliness to tearful poignancy, but it often feels all style, no substance. Just a little too superficial to care, a little too sentimental to be irreverent. It's certainly a fresh take but it's cobbled together into a kind of Frankenstein that lopes along at the pace of a scribble on a cocktail napkin or an improv sketch stretched into a movie. Decent enough to watch when it's on, but I wouldn't really seek it out. Waititi is capable of better.

The first half didn't do anything for me. I didn't like the quirkiness and the humor, Hitler did nothing for me. The second half was more interesting to me, because the tone was more serious. The child actors are quite good and sometimes even better than the adults.

I expected more humor, but came out preferring the drama. Anything involving the adults was good, as Johansson and Rockwell are fantastic actors, and Wilson was pretty funny. Unfortunately it never got more than chuckles out of me, with Waititi’s Hitler being more of a distraction than a focus. The last third was pretty solid storytelling, although I didn’t mind the Wes Anderson type of feel at the beginning. I dunno, feels like it’s more for Waititi fans and it won’t convert others.

I mean it's fine; It's a decent coming-of-age story, but its satire is pretty toothless, and its takedown of Nazis feels pretty weak, especially when compared to films like The Great Dictator, To Be of Not to Be or The Producers. There was a potential here for this to be a powerfully relevant film about the radicalization of youth, but instead it became another empty, feel-good "Don't Hate Each Other" Hollywood racism movie. It's not bad, it just could, and should, have been much better.

Sets itself up as a comedy and falters at every step. Has a couple of chuckles, to be sure, but too few given the propensity for absurdity. There is one good scene in the market square towards the end, which shows clever directing, but it's not enough. It's not that the film has too much drama, it's that the drama isn't that great and less so when paired with mediocre humor.

A very heartfelt and sometimes brilliant and moving satire. Sam Rockwell and Taika's version of Hitler really are the best spots of the movie. Their characters are hilarious and the two actors play them perfectly. The rest of the cast is also great, the child actors are incredible talents. Sadly this movie feels lacking and like it reaches its peak with its potential. It's missing something to really elevate it.

Almost all the individual pieces here are delightful but it does not coalesce into a cohesive whole. Roman, and the direction he must have received by Waititi, is outstanding, completely believable in every scene. The acting in general is excellent. Waititi brings a lot of vivid colors and manic energy to the direction. The big problem however is tone, especially with Waititi's Hitler. He is just too meta, bringing me out of the movie in a bad way.

This was utterly endearing. The humor is gut-busting, the characters are beautifully defined, and the subject matter is well balanced between comedy and drama. Waititi rides a very fine line -- understanding that to laugh at Nazis is to diminish them, but also that we must solemnly acknowledge the suffering they inflicted. I guess because Nazis are back, many of us expected this to shred into them, but I didn't expect this to commentate much, rather just tell its story, and I felt rewarded.

Moronic feel-good "satire" with the backbone of an eclair. Feels like a prank, especially the ending. More Holocaust/Nazis material might be like this as it slips out of living memory and becomes just another genre. Oh well! I will admit, though: between this and Wilderpeople I think Waititi speaks well to that condition of young boys that, you can raise them well and teach them right from wrong, but they will so often gravitate to the most psycho and morbid shit, just for its own sake.

A gung-ho member of the Nazi youth discovers a Jewish girl hiding in his home, much to his horror, and that of his imaginary friend, a manic Adolf Hitler. Waititi deftly handles some pretty touchy subject material, delivering a sweetly romantic story against the nightmarish backdrop of WW2 Germany. Mixes a surprising amount of humor in with the darker stuff to keep the overall tone fairly light and fable-like. Stephen Merchant's gestapo agent is simultaneously hysterical and terrifying.

Definitely not bad but definitely not great neither. Some scenes are brave enough to quit the politically correct bullshit, some other scenes are suffocating because of -their way too obvious- contemporary political hints/references, or annoying feminist overtones. In short: Brave but not brave enough, deep but not deep enough, funny but not funny enough. The film's biggest weakness though is that it is not committed enough to keep the childhood perspective for the entirety of the movie.

i can't completely hate on a movie with scarjo and thomasin and that surprisingly moving passage from the butterfly to the stabbing, but this is really just another saccharine middlebrow holocaust drama filtered through a ten year old's puerile, smart-aleck sense of humour, a combination which creates little friction since both are equally pandering and facile. if only this was funny enough or offensive enough to deserve its salty horde of whysoserious defenders.

It's a satire full of cliches. But little Roman Griffin Davis is so adorable that made me appreciate this movie very much. Then there is Hitler that is just awfully portrayed and I loathed every second of his appearance. Scarlet is a master of her profession, this is shown over and over. Overall feeling is odd and cheap.

A good satire that looks the overused material of WWII from another perspective. I am not usually a fan of children actors, but their acting was absolutely great, in line with the tone of the movie. Elsa was lovely, and the development of intimacy between Jojo and Elsa was both funny and poignant. It drags a bit about half way into the film, and I felt the imaginary Hitler character was a bit unnecessary, which is odd considering it is one of the things that make it different from other movies.

I absolutely loved this film; for the boldness of the approach; to the comedy (from slapstick to witty dialogue); for the juxtaposition of that comedy to a truly heart rending "growing up" story, and a fantastic, likeable cast. Jojos swing from childish idolatry and idealism to horrific truth and reality (perfectly played by Davis), is brought about by two opposing, fighting views; the internal propaganda of his "make believe" Adolf, and the external reality of Elsa.

Disappointing effort from Waititi suffers oddly from a failure of nerve - as a "Hitler comedy" it doesn't go far enough to grapple with the underlying rot of Nazism and the Holocaust; Watiti's Hitler himself is a strange, buffoonish creation, lacking any genuine satiric edge. While it's overall a better effort than LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, it has the same problematic way of shying away from the true ugliness of its targets. Sequence with Merchant ("Heil Hitler!") is the comedic highpoint.

It was a drama comedy about the WWII. Or should I say comedy drama, in that order since it was a growing up story. The balance between comedy and drama did not succeed all the time.

A lot of the movie is amazing, but its not perfect. The performances are all top notch. RGD gives easily the best performance I've ever seen from a child actor. The humor works perfectly, and the art direction and cinematography couldn't be more on point (obvious Wes Anderson influence). Unfortunately Waititi opted to not make it a pure comedy. The more poignant moments aren't bad at all. They just feel as if he's saying "Comedies don't win awards". Well incorporated, but typical by comparison.

The depiction of Hitler is clever as his hammy goofiness perfectly conveys the childish admiration a Hitler youth would have for him. The comedy in the first 30 minutes also lands for the most part. However, don't watch beyond that expecting a comedy film. The drama is heavy here, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. There are some scenes that are powerful, but the plot plays out in a predictably cliche fashion with a pretty lame final act. Overall a watchable if uneven film, but nothing stellar.

Its dual stories remind me of the structure of The Great Dictator, even as it struggles to grapple with the dramatic shifts in tone (in contrast to Chaplin's film). The final act settles in and concludes the film on a meaningful note, portraying an embrace of true humanity.

Moonrise Kingdom with Nazis - and neither the film nor the ideology were very good ideas to start with.

He also resorts to a cliché Hollywood story line whose telling is excruciatingly obvious. Feels like a missed opportunity.

For me, the combination of dark humor with moments of pure devastation works for me and moved me throughout. I think that Waikiti finds a very fragile story to tell against the backdrop of history and to frame so many of these events through the eyes of an indoctrinated young boy brings new perspective.

WW2 comedy, is that even appropriate? I don’t know, but I can’t think of another movie that depicts the absurdity of racism better than JoJo.
