First reviews are in for Taika Waititi's 'Jojo Rabbit' and they are glowing
#JojoRabbit : Taika Waititi knocks it out of der park with the meaningful lunacy of his anti-hate satire. Title 10-year-old, a Nazi in training with Hitler as an imaginary friend, has something to learn: love conquers hate, and laughter makes it easier. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/V1eI5QFLvG

The controversial movie 'Jojo Rabbit' from director Taika Waititi premiered at TIFF tonight, and well, it's getting a lot of glowing reviews (no mention of awards, just positive reactions). Most people sound surprised at how moved and impressed they were by the movie, given how ridiculous the story is (which it still is) and trailer looks, and the subject matter around it. More reviews and first impressions below.
#JoJoRabbit is one of the more absurd coming-of-age stories I’ve seen. Funny, bittersweet and unapologetically unique, Taika Waititi continues to prove he is among the most exciting and original voices telling stories right now #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/Ml1e43wHK7

Also, JOJO RABBIT is a marvel. It wouldn't seem possible for a movie that starts out so madcap to lead to such a sweet and sincere place. A magical, irresistible coming-of-age tale. Taika Waititi's greatest feat. #TIFF19

JOJO RABBIT is very sweet and very funny. The cast is great but the movie belongs Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie. They’re amazing. #TIFF19

JOJO RABBIT: The discourse on this is going to be Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but I think it works. Often to an extremely impressive degree. Sam Rockwell might want to think of cultivating a new niche, though, good as his reformed white supremacist schtick is. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/JkpUqZf8GR

JOJO RABBIT is perfect. It's charming and hilarious and sweet but never shies away from being dark, tragic and scary. We are privileged to share time with Taika Waititi. It's exactly what we need right now. #TIFF19

Jojo Rabbit is simply wonderful. A coming-of-age tale told through the lens of fascism. Hilarious, clever, sensitive. Taika Waititi is so good at directing kids.

#JojoRabbit is fantastic. Funny emotional unique. Incredible performances, writing, directing, score, shot selection. As we say in Hollywood, “That Jewish Kiwi has done it again, and by done it again I mean @TaikaWaititi has written/directed another great film, and by film I mean https://t.co/5dDElygDUi

My hat is off to @TaikaWaititi and this cast/crew on this World War 2 satire. Taika gives us a satirical film (based on a book) that makes fun of Nazis in a way that I haven't seen since Mel Brooks did so a long time ago. #JojoRabbit #TIFF19
