Re: JoJo Rabbit
Thought this was pretty terrible, wasn’t sure what is was aiming for, was not remotely funny, so it can’t be a comedy, wasn’t dramatic, just didn’t understand what this film was trying to be at all. 1/5.

Top Gun Maverick
MI 7 & 8
The Many Saints of Newark
Ghostbusters : Afterlife
Best films seen recently;
Tenet
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
In The Heights
A Quiet Place 2

Re: JoJo Rabbit
I absolutely loved this. The comedy worked for me and so did the more serious moments. 5/5

Re: JoJo Rabbit
I was in two minds about going to this but finally decided to go, and didn't regret it. The director happily doesn't give a fig about what anyone thinks and manages to show the horror and the absurdities of the Third Reich in equal measures.
There are moments of tenderness followed by hilarity and immediately followed by a scene that makes you gasp in horror. He doesn't shy away from those, and shows them quite matter of factly. Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson do a great job in showing how ridiculous it was to try and make war machines out of kids and baby machines out of women. And as for Hitler - I'm sorry but he had me in stitches throughout, and I think that's ok as the film doesn't make fun of the atrocities. Just compare the truckload full of jubilant young men going into war with the truckload of them returning and you know what I mean.
And then you get the moments of true humanity, and you're in tears again. Go watch it.
9/10

Re: JoJo Rabbit
I found this movie to be ok nothing special. To be honest I was expecting more with the cast they had. It’s not really a comedy or a serious movie it’s just in between. 3/5
