Jojo’s inner thoughts that dominate the novel are manifested as imaginary friend Hitler. A bold choice, and it works.

An inventive anti-hate satire that walks a fine line between comic fantasy and tragedy.

It pays to consider the wake Life is Beautiful left behind; the controversy would be moot if not for Jojo’s brilliance.

We desire communion that leads to understanding, empathy that leads to friendship.

I didn’t expect to like it. However, Waititi’s film is very much an anti-hate satire.

The bizarre premise works so well.
