" Notes: Even though I did appreciate the original approach chosen by Taika Waititi, I’m afraid it was still too whimsical for my taste though. Still, there is no denying that Waititi was quite hilarious playing some kind of stupid childlike version of Adolf Hitler. However, I think it was a mistake to show all the Nazi characters as being some harmless morons. I mean, some of them were actually really smart and unfortunately not harmless at all. In general, it was probably the biggest issue w"

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even though I did appreciate the original approach chosen by Taika Waititi, I’m afraid it was still too whimsical for my taste though. Still, there is no denying that Waititi was quite hilarious playing some kind of stupid childlike version of Adolf Hitler. However, I think it was a mistake to show all the Nazi characters as being some harmless morons. I mean, some of them were actually really smart and unfortunately not harmless at all. In general, it was probably the biggest issue with this movie, not the fact that it was a comedy (Roberto Begnini has displayed years ago with ‘La vita è bella’ that you can be make a great comedy about the holocaust), but the fact it actually t” read more

"21.1. Elokuva on niin valmiiksi naurettu vitseineen, että siinä on melkein naururaita. Elokuvalla on kutakuinkin kaksi vitsiä, jotka molemmat on kerrottu ensimmäisen puolen tunnin sisällä, mikä jättää loppu-70-minuuttisesta Waititin suurimman borefestin vailla minkäänlaista kekseliäisyyttä. Ongelmaksi koituu myös se, kuinka elokuva pyrkii olemaan niin kovasti kaikkia miellyttävä, ettei se uskalla missään vaiheessa edes etäisesti koetella katsojaansa."

"I am so glad this odd concept finally got to screen because it thoroughly enjoyable and a huge cinematic success. It refreshingly funny, sweet. It's sad moments are earned and the ending is near-perfect. Waititi has shown what his masterful mind can do when given a proper budget and cast. I am looking forward to many more movies/shows from him. "

"A lonely German boy's world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism. What a brilliant WWII satire/drama this is. An absurd amount of passion and heart put into a movie that shouldn’t work at all but miraculously does. Something no filmmaker besides director Taika Waititi could pull off in this way. Only he could take one of the"

"Come un film di Wes Anderson (in special modo 'Moonrise kingdom') ambientato nella Germania nazista di fine conflitto, ma con molta meno inventiva: il risultato intrattiene e fa pure riflettere, però l'impressione che resta è che si sarebbe potuto fare (osare) di più. La combinazione tra commedia e dramma a volte funziona, a volte risulta forzata (Hitler amico immaginario è ben presto superfluo), mentre è efficace la rappresentazione di una cittadina del Reich ormai sconfitto dove vanno di "

"Format: Blu-Ray Viewing: 1st Thoughts: Big fan of Waititi, was expecting this to have more laughs. The grim side of the story didn't balance well. However, the child actors were fantastic. "
