Love it or hate it, JojoRabbit — Taika Waititi's singular, silly take on WWII coming-of-age movies—is impossible to shake, says Peter Travers
Waititi immediately distinguishes itself from the self-serious source material, establishing a farcical opening to the sounds of the Beatles singing a German cover of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” while documentary footage rolls of National Socialists sieg-heiling.
With his father at war , responsibility for Jojo falls solely to his mother Rosie, beautifully played byin a performance of uncommon complexity and feeling. Rosie is clearly appalled by her son’s Nazi rhetoric. In one telling scene, she walks him past a line of Jews hanging from the gallows. The boy’s response — a babyish “yuck” — is a lesson in how denial is taught to more than just children.
