JoJo Rabbit

[iklboo]

Went to see this yesterday and bloody loved it. Funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking. Has anyone else been?

It's on my watch list, I'm really intrigued by it. A comedy about Nazis, sounds odd.

@Redcrayons - it's more a relationship piece with Nazis in it.

We're going to see it tomorrow. It looks good, though it got a mixed review on Front Row (presenter loved it, film critic didn't).

We're seeing it next week, the trailer has been shown each time we've been to the cinema recently and we're both really looking forward to seeing it.

@VanillaSugar I think a 12 year old would probably be fine, I meant I wouldn't necessarily take a younger child. Do take tissues though. I couldn't stop crying at the end

My 13 year old saw it today and loved it. She’s just finished reading the book. I’m desperate to see it, as are my 11yo and 9yo. I’ve said no, unfortunately. Common sense media have a good synopsis for children.

Loved it. I think it probably should have been a 15, as it was brutal in parts. The acting was fantastic and it made me laugh a lot but also was very dark towards the end.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople was hilarious, Hadn’t realised this was the same director. Just saw a clip and it looks good.

I’ve just recorded hunt for the wilder people, it was in TV last week. He has other movies out. Im

God I’m such a dissenting voice but I just didn’t like it. Whatever the magic sauce is it didn’t have it for me. Fully appreciate I’m the only person who thinks so. DH LOVED it. It’s been reviewed and received really well. Must have been an off day for me

@KTD27. Peter Bradshaw (film critic st The Guardian) also hated it so you're not alone! i almost didn't go after I'd read his review. I loved it in the end but I think it trod a very fine line and I can see why some people might feel that it fell the wrong side of that line

@KTD27 - it's perfectly fine you didn't like it. It'd be boring if everyone was the same . Was there one particular thing or just the feel of it overall?

@iklboo I am not at all sure. I think maybe it’s because I knew what happened. I’d accidentally read spoiler on twitter and then it just felt odd watching it - I couldn’t get as invested or as ‘taken away’ as I would have done otherwise. So just disengaged. I can absolutely see the performances and the staging etc were gorgeous. Love taika whatiti aswell. It just felt a bit flat to me.

Ah Ok. That'll probably do it.

We watched Eagle vs Shark last night. Very different feel to Boy and Wilderpeople. Still enjoyed it, just not quite as much.

We’ve just come back - I forgot to tell my History student DD that Hitler was his imaginary friend so she was a bit confused for the first 10 minutes. DS was fine but I was a wreck halfway through. Beautiful film. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

I went with DS2 and 3, 17 and 20. We all loved it. Lots of laughter and yet such a serious story. I thought the two child leads were brilliant as was Scarlett Johansson. I want to see Hunt for the Wilderpeople now!

It’s one of the best films I’ve seen for a while. I came out feeling like my emotions were all jumbled up and I didn’t know what had hit me. From laughing to crying in seconds. Taika Waititi is a genius.

I didn’t dislike it but thought it was odd. It didn’t seem to know what it was meant to be and I thought the casting of Rebel Wilson was very strange. There were some heartbreaking moments in it. I’m pleased I saw it but it’s not a film I’d watch a second time.

If you are THINKING of going to see this, stop the thinking and go. It's sad, tragic, brilliantly written, insightful and really, really funny.

There are a couple of swearies but they are comedic.

Nazis were vile. It's OK to use humour to ridicule.

Go. Please go. And if you hate it, I'll try to refund you. This film has to be bristling with BAFTAs and Oscars.

Oh, yes. It's a bit weird.

I thought it was brilliant, best film I've seen for years.

I’m so looking forward to seeing this. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a fantastic film so I have high hopes for JoJo Rabbit.

That scene...that butterfly!!

I loved it. Wasnt sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it. The little moments made it. Loved the ending...

I think it portrayed both the absurdity and futility of war really well.
I loved it.
My husband though it was ok.
(He loved the gentlemen though and thought that was only ok)

I saw it Friday night with 15 year old dd. We both loved it, dd cried quite a lot throughout and in the car on the way home.
I wonder why neither Jojo's nor Elsa's actors got any nominations, they are both fantastic.
