A hilarious, shrewd delight. Near perfect black comedy. Went into the theater with no idea what to expect (thought it could be a horror) and was astonished. Great film to be the last one seen in a theater.
JoJo Rabbit is not quite the comedy it strives to be and not quite the surreal fantasy. It has it moments of me laughing alone in a movie theater at nazis (come on people it’s a comedy!). More of a miss than a hit.

A bit too over-the-top, insane, rich-kid fantasy. But when it hits it's jokes it hits them hard. It's really funny, when it is funny.
Brad Pitt in his moccasins cruising around empty Southland freeways with the top down. DiCaprio's stilted, alcoholic acting in westerns and war films. There are worst ways to spend two and a half hours then in Tarantino's 1969 Los Angeles.
It leans hard into Clue and completely pulls it off. Everything is perfect. Great film.
How hard is it to find a beach house without white vinyl windows? The performances are fine, Alec Baldwin is a good choice for Robert Moses. The story is engaging enough. Needs more shots in Penn Station, less curb cuts and vinyl windows.
Just get to Tom Cruise running on rooftops, flying helicopters, driving motorcycles against Parisian traffic. Those parts are great.
Went in unexpected direction of survivors of the Holocaust having to personally coax Adolf Eichmann into their grasp. Ben Kingsley and Oscar Isaac are compelling to watch, playing mind games in an Argentinian safe house.

There is a strong drama with great performances and occasional jokes buried under the Big Short’s skeleton.
