Synopsis
Jojo, a lonely German boy during World War II has his world shaken when he learns that his single mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. Influenced by a buffoonish imaginary version of Adolf Hitler, he begins to question his beliefs and confront the conflict between propaganda and his own humanity.
Reception

- Audience
- 94%
Critics were mostly won over by its mix of absurd comedy and real emotion in a story about a boy raised on Nazi propaganda. The performances and Waititi's tone were the usual highlights. Its main reservation was that the broad satire and sentimental turns do not land equally for every viewer.
