Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019) by Trunkis — 13 Jan 2020

The trailer for the film could not be more misleading. It represents the film as a bright, brilliant, laugh-a-minute, over-the-top, farce-like extravaganza. It's not. It drags. Oh, does it drag. It virtually stops dead in its tracks.

Scenes that should be 2-3 minutes go on and on. Characters and situations that are funny are few and far between. My problem, unlike other reviewers here, is not with the subject matter. Sure it's not everyone's cup of tea.

But whether or not you feel the subject is film-worthy, this is a dead film. As was the audience at my screening.
