“If you’re looking for giddy escapism, Bowie tunes and an unapologetic good time with a side order of remembrance for of WW2, then you’ll have as much fun as the cast clearly had making this.”~Jane Crowther, Total Film
Aroview: Wildly satirical WWII comedy following Jojo, a lonely German boy who discovers his mother, who is secretly anti-Nazi, is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Filled with all the irreverent humour and characteristic pathos of acclaimed NZ director Taika Waititi (THOR: RAGNAROK, HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE), who also plays Jojo's imaginary best friend version of Adolf Hitler.
Average rating (Good Enough). Showing 1-2 of 2 member reviews.
3 stars (Good Enough) After an excellent start, the screenplay does have dips especially once the effect of the freshness of the material wears off but it also has recovery periods for e.g. when Stephen Merchant appears. Throughout the production values are excellent. ~Tubbs
2 stars (Good Try) Rather lightweight! ~Sandy
