Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Donald Clarke (1,051) for The Irish Times (483) on 22 Jan 2020

Jojo Rabbit works such tensions throughout: between laughter and groans, between emotion and sentimentality, between daring and bad taste…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Chris Evangelista (306) for Slashfilm (971) on 15 Jan 2020

Waititi’s World War II satire is both a magic trick and a high-wire act – the filmmaker keeps pulling rabbits out of his hat while balancing…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Mark Kermode (1,002) for The Observer (UK) (826) on 07 Jan 2020

I suspect the strangely good-natured feel of the film will win the hearts of many viewers, but my own head remained too muddled by its uneven…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 02 Jan 2020

Taika Waititi’s most daring film isn’t his most successful…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Vince Mancini (256) for Uproxx (697) on 02 Jan 2020

Waititi spends so much energy trying to convince us that this story is universal that he often loses what made it novel in the first place…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for The Guardian (2,969) on 21 Dec 2019

There are no insights to be had – and no laughs…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 08 Nov 2019

This is either the worst time for a movie like Jojo Rabbit or the best time. I lean toward the latter…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Nov 2019

The problem with Waititi’s approach, not unlike those faced by Roberto Benigni 22 years ago when he made the divisive Life Is Beautiful,…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Luke Parker (63) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 31 Oct 2019

Blazingly and brilliantly over the top, Jojo Rabbit’s total dismissal of subtlety is its most ferocious ally and, only occasionally, its…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 25 Oct 2019

There’s no question this exuberantly directed coming-of-age tale — a peppy slapstick drama, if you can get your brain around that — is…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 24 Oct 2019

Absurdist humor abounds throughout a story whose underlying themes echo Elvis Costello’s eternal question, “What’s so funny ’bout peace,…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 24 Oct 2019

In the uncomfortably funny, unapologetically insensitive, cheerfully outrageous Jojo Rabbit, writer-director Waititi (“Thor: Ragnorak”)…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 24 Oct 2019

Yes, the tone is a tricky balance that sometimes almost gets away from Waititi — there are some laugh-out-loud moments alongside some scenes…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 24 Oct 2019

It’s Waititi’s ability to balance unassailably goofy moments with an acknowledgment of real-life horrors that makes the movie exceptional…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Richard Brody (868) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 24 Oct 2019

Even though the target of satire in Jojo Rabbit is clearly the Nazis, the movie sharply but unintentionally satirizes itself, as well as its…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 23 Oct 2019

Set to an anachronistic pop soundtrack and an eye-poppingly attractive production design that would be right at home in a Wes Anderson movie,…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 23 Oct 2019

Waititi adopts a tone that’s wild enough to accommodate all possibilities, so that even while we’re laughing, we’re in a state of anxiety…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 21 Oct 2019

It’s no surprise that the film should so often stumble and trip, yet I would sooner watch it again and sort through my mixed feelings about…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Oct 2019

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)
