To have totally LOVED JoJo Rabbit?

[DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld]

Just that really. I loved it. I loved everything about it. I cried, I laughed, it was one of the best films I've ever seen.

I've vaguely heard of the film, no idea of what it's about but why are we not meant to like it?

Is it suitable for teens, without giving spoilers can someone please explain why it's unreasonable to like it?

Posted too soon,

Is it sexist, racist,homophobic, I don't want to pay for something inappropriate

Loved it, very clever.

It is absolutely amazing. My favourite film of the last year for sure. Brilliant.

Is it too much for 9 year old he wants to see it but I’m not sure and the Swearing isn’t an issue we can cope with that

I watched it with 10yo DS, he found two scenes mildly upsetting and am happy to answer via PM what they were as I don't want to spoil the film for the whole thread. Other than those two scenes he really enjoyed it and it gave us a lot to talk about too.

Its about a 10yo boy (JoJo) growing up in Germany during WW2. He is a member of the Hitler Youth and has an imaginary friend in the form of Hitler. His mum is hiding a Jewish girl in their house but can't tell him because he's a fanatic but he finds out. It makes him start to question his devotion to Hitler and the things he's been taught, it's very sweet in places and funny too but because of the WW2 backdrop also has some sad parts.

None of this is spoilery and is all in the trailer.

@KKSlider yes please; he’s never forgiven me for the beginning of Pete’s Dragon (he was much younger).

There's a massive spoiler in this thread. I'm sure I'll still enjoy the film though.

Loved it so much, may have cried a lot :)

Also watched it on a long flight. Wonderful film, I absolutely loved it.

Absolutely loved it too. I went to see it with my adult son and we both sobbed at the end. We really want to see it again with the rest of the family but my son has said his heart is just not ready!

I didn't enjoy it. Now thinking I might have to watch again.

Bloody brilliant - best film I've seen in years

Thank you for explaining what the film is about @KKSlider, still not sure why there would be a film that people would be unreasonable to like, presumably filmmakers don't deliberately make films for people not to like.

I'm obviously missing something
