Jojo Rabbit | Ratings & Reviews

"Jojo Rabbit is bold in its inversion of expectations and its reimagining of a familiar subject. There's nothing trivial about it."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"… a skilful film but also one that is bound to divide people."

FilmInkFilmInk

"In the end, the audience will leave uplifted by this enthralling, entertaining plea for tolerance and know that they've seen a very Waititi take on World War II (Bowie tracks, robots and all)."

StuffStuff

"If there was ever a time for a story which does nothing but spread love not hate, that time is right now. The bond between mother and son, between new friends and old ones and the idea that we have to mend the self-made fissures in humanity generation by generation - it’s all here. JoJo Rabbit will wrap you up in the cinematic group hug that laughing and crying together in a dark theatre can bring."

"Taika Waititi scores again thanks to his signature style of comedy, excellent cast, and message of love and hope."

ColliderCollider

"Just as it was easy to like 1999 multiple Oscar winner Life Is Beautiful, it was even easier to dislike it, and the same holds true for Jojo Rabbit..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"It's a feel-good movie, all right, but one that uses the fake danger of defanged black comedy to leave us feeling good about the fact that we're above a feel-good movie."

VarietyVariety

"What Waititi thinks is shockingly audacious is in fact frustratingly timid, he opts for a gentle prod when maybe a punch would do."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"[I]f "Jojo Rabbit" has anything to teach us, it's that sniffles can be an even greater divider."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Disposable frivolity that promises fun at the cinema, if not resonance."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Jojo Rabbit is more of a roast than a reckoning, which I suppose would be fine if it were only aiming for comedy. But this is a movie with lofty humanist ideas."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"In its precision, Jojo Rabbit may remind you of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, another comedy in which clownish forces of fascism squared off against love, humour and elegance - both movies feel like they come from the same universe."
