Jojo Rabbit reviewed by Mark Kermode

[@spoiltdiva]

I utterly loved it, and I honestly think if Taika had gone darker/deeper (as I've heard a from a few reviewers now) it would have lost its accessibility to a wider audience. My 10 and 13 year old children both enjoyed it immensely yet could still understand the absurdity of what is happening around Jojo.

@@LiquidSpiralIt all seemed a bit pointless to me. Then, apparently, no one, e.g the Gestapo, bothered to go to their home to find the newly orphaned boy who was too young to fend for himself. I know it was meant to be a tragicomedy and I should suspend belief but that might’ve taken the film in a slightly more interesting direction.

[@themroc8231]

My problem with that movie was that i felt it reduced the issue of nazism to an idiocy problem or maybe an ignorance problem. All the people who are nazis with convictions in the movie from the little kid to the SS struck me as being profoundly idiotic, while the people who opposed nazism like the mother or the jewish girl were portrayed as smart and informed and functioned as stand-ins for the spectator's point of view. As if to say that of course the intelligent public could never be seduced by nazism. I think that specially nowadays this is close to being the worst take you can have on this issue this side of making an actual nazi movie. I really think it's dangerous to pretend that hateful ideologies can not possibly seduce and motivate intelligent people.

[@anujpramanik1819]

It's an absurdist dark comedy, people are going into the movie expecting too much. 🙄

I wasn't particularly enthused either. Rather felt like it was a film trying to be profound, rather than a film that actually was.

[@bevbo42]

I've just rewatched JoJo Rabbit and I agree with my initial take on the film, it is a masterpiece. People that are dislike the film are missing the point of it. I don't understand Mark's criticism that it wasn't tough enough. It was tough in the tough bits, you really can't get much tougher than the JoJo's mother and the end sequences. It is not a war film in the traditional sense of the genre. It is the war viewed through the eyes of a fanatical, brainwashed 10 year old boy and slowly we see the veil being pulled away as he is confronted by the utter stupidity of Nazism and the true horrors of war. I really don't understand how Mark can say this film is bland or his comparison to Hunt for the Wilderpeople - JoJo is in a different class of film altogether...

[@Malt454]

I think it's generally overrated - masterpiece is FAR too strong for me - but that it also has this kind of weird critical deflector screen around it that seems to accuse anyone who simply doesn't love it of somehow being flawed human beings who didn't "get it". I think I understood the film, I just think it's a little ambiguous on whether Nazism was a laughing matter, even from a child's/A Christmas Story-style perspective.

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

The movie was brilliant and its ok to make fun about tragic stuff. its all about timing and its been long enough. I think that it get´s in the way of experience the movie for what it is in a neutral way. It has heart and satire in a balanced way. People are getting force feed this one specific genocide as kids that they get way to emotional about it. its not a way of teaching history as much as it has become a type of social brain-conditioning to put all your hate in one direction.

Absolutely 100% agree with this analysis, why are people so blown away by this? I’m a big TW fan and I laughed in many places but I also found many parts missing the mark massively. I found it immature and lacking depth, the emotional parts didn’t hit hard enough because they weren’t supported with the necessary grit and nuance to deal with a subject that is incredibly heavy. So many badly timed and unfunny gags also. It could’ve been a real masterpiece but he flunked it. His previous films are much better.

[@robertstephenson9760]

I think some critics become so obsessed with the need to intellectually dissect a movie, that they lose sight of what it is that the rest of us find magical. I think both Mark and Robbie Collin are badly out of sync with the consensus of public opinion with regards to Jo Jo Rabbit. The movie is many things, but to describe it as 'bland' is astonishing. I listened to the Robbie Collin review that Mark referenced and it wasn't eloquent at all. It was a sanctimonious rant, and frankly he came across as a bit of a dick. I watched the movie after hearing these reviews and couldn't disagree with them more. I personally found Jo Jo Rabbit to be a charming, funny and moving film, and I adored it.

[@AngusRockford]

I usually find myself pretty sympatico with Kermode's takes on films, but he really missed the mark on this one. The plaint that "some people really, really hated it," seems like a particularly cowardly hedge to avoid giving this movie its due for fear of some sort of backlash from the sanctimonious types who get queasy at any satire that locates humor in highly-sensitive places, but it's those places that most need prodding by our gifted satirists. It's especially cowardly of Mark, not to mention a cheap shot, because this movie, now that it's been widely seen, has a 94% audience score on RT. That's higher than "Gone With The Wind," "To Kill A Mockingbird," "Citizen Kane," and just one point shy of fucking "Casablanca"! Given that resounding, nigh universal, acclaim, I'd say the fact that some people "really, really hated it," is actually a feather in its cap. It's hated by all the right people, presumably. This was a great movie. It somehow hits you in the gut and still makes you want to go out and dance for joy that you're still, however briefly, free and alive. Only great movies can do that. I'll have what Mel Brooks is having, thanks.

[@BongoBaggins]

[@chebravado4480]

I'm certainly not a educated man when it comes to cinema and feel its bad form to disagree with with a seasoned movie reviewer on his own specialist subject but today's the day, I have to say I absolutely in no way think this movie is as mediocre as this review suggests, given the subject matter and tones of the film i think the humour along with the colour pallet and music is done wonderfully, as for the darker elements not being dark enough I'm not sure it could of done more without compromising it's satirical aims, admitadly i cry at movies quite readily so maybe im not the best person to cast an opinion on that but the sad scenes in this movie hit me extremely hard, i found them a testament to the characters that build it up along the way with the humour and whimsy that comes before the films tragic moments ensuring they really deliver, and for me they did, like a punch to the face, I loved this film, and can appreciate people not being interested in it or not liking it due to the subject and tones not being to there tastes, but for a thoroughly respected movie reviewer to really not appreciate the movie for what it is at the bare minimum feels odd, there really isnt that much here to dislike and feel this review is strangely harsh.

[@beneveol]

Absolutely agree with Mark, kind of bland, yes funny in parts but the 'tragic' elements didn't feel weighty or earned, I liked it but it didn't get much of a response out of me. Shame because I could totally see what the film was going for, just missed the mark for me.

I can't believe it's getting the Oscar buzz it is. Hunt for the Wilderpeople was really good but this really missed the mark. Heroes by Bowie in German at the end? It's just cheap. It's a shame. Robbie Collin did nothing wrong, it's amazing that people are saying he was rude. I think he's a saint for getting through a whole podcast show with co-host Edith Bowman. She's insufferable.
