Permit me to highlight : <blockquote>Waititi has never shied away from sharing his politics, but Jojo Rabbit feels oddly impartial, keen to note that actually, there were some Nice Nazis Too. That’s not really something we need to hear in 2019, with white nationalism back in vogue and on the march across much of western civilisation.</blockquote> Isn't she cute ? I mean, fucked in the head beyond all recovery, sure. But cute, tho. Like a rabbit with its neck wrung, still frothing at the "mouth" a little.

This turns the film's intention very much on its head, it readily functions as demolishing ridicule of the author and his subcultural socio-ideological milieu, which is no doubt why you even reviewed it in the first place. It's still not really worth the two hours of anyone's time, let alone paying anything.

Or the regret that those involved weren't. I can't shake the conviction this dinner party entertainment on mosfilm scrip was shot in Sibiu. Or the regret that those involved weren't.
