Just saw JoJo Rabbit and thought it was terrific.

A hilarious quirky original film. Taika Wattiti is a genuine talent. Again, one of the best films of the year.

The Academy has done well with its nominations this year.

Just back from a well-attended screening here in the UK where the film has just opened.

I thought the first fifteen minutes or so were merely fine, but then it really hit its stride and was excellent from then on. Casting was spot-on. If I had to choose a star it’d be Sam Rockwell, but everyone was terrific and in my cinema Stephen Merchant got the biggest laughs. Rebel Wilson did very well with a limited screen-time too.

Visually it looked amazing with the era beautifully recreated.

My only real qualm with it was
that it implied that American troops executed newly-arrested German POWs and even grabbed an obvious young boy (Jojo) to be essentially murdered. That seemed a hell of an accusation to make.
Yeah. Regarding your spoiler it was definitely

Russian troops

Saw this back in October and it's one of my 3 favourite films of the year, alongside 1917 and Avengers: Endgame.

Last night I had a miniature Thomasin McKenzie marathon. I watched Leave No Trace followed by Jojo Rabbit.
