Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019) by Grantd243 — 02 Dec 2019

I love the style, I love the jokes, and I love the message of this film. However, when the twist happens, it didn't really have much weight behind it. It should have been an incredibly heavy realization with some kind of fallout, but the main character doesn't seem to really have to deal with it.

It just kind of happens and he continues to move on down the path he was already heading. That moment alone brought the score down for me. If Taika Waititi had nailed that tonal shift correctly, this could have gone down as one of my favorite films of the year.
