JOJO RABBIT (no spoilers)
This movie lacks truly top-tier directing, cinematography, acting, score, and the script isn't perfectly paced. This is not an "artistic masterpiece". All of the things I just mentioned are actually pretty good, but not at that very top level.
That being said, this was a DAMNED good film and I absolutely loved it. People worried that this film is offensive need to go see it. It's great, and it's message is great. Thomasin Mackenzie has a long career in Hollywood ahead of her - she upstaged both Johansson and Rockwell. BIG recommendation for anybody reading this to go and check this film out. Best Picture nomination is expected and it better not get overlooked.
Just saw it today, it's brilliant. Belonging more to the 'coming of age in war' genre than to satire, the humor serves to frame Jojo's experience. You can see how a young boy might fall under the spell of the propoganda, and his discovery of it an empty shell that opposes what he truly loves. A few moments nearly brought me tears. Visually beautiful and the score was great as well.
Thomasin is excellent, I loved her in Leave No Trace - my favorite film of last year and unfairly passed over by the Academy.
