After spending the majority of Sunday morning nursing a minor hangover, I dragged myself into general respectability around midday and went with a friend to see Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, which has been on my "to watch" list for a considerable amount of time.

( I'm putting the review behind a cut because there are some minor thematic spoilers and also it's a little long. )

Overall, I enjoyed Jojo Rabbit enough that I plan to add it to my permanent collection once it comes out on disc. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Taika Waititi's general carefree humor with the caveat that while there are plenty of delightful moments and a lot of laughs, the film itself is not an exclusively happy experience. Jojo has a lot of growing to do when we meet him in the beginning and there's a lot of pain on the path he'll have to take to get there, if he follows it at all.

If you're looking for a good laugh that'll also tug your heartstrings, give it a gander and let me know what you think!
