Watched Jojo Rabbit tonight ... pretty damn good movie I gotta say ...

Kinda walks an uneasy line with 'humor about Nazi's' but in the end, it has a ton of heart, great performances, and quite a bit of emotional impact.

Fact, I gotta admit, I friggin cried at the end. And one other time. If you know the movie, you know the part. In the public square. Those were sad tears.

In the end though it's good tears ... but not like good tears at the end of Schindler's List, it's not that heavy.

Wished that last scene had gone on for a bit longer, actually. It's perfect.

Very well worth a watch, despite the seemingly dumb name.

Except maybe at the theater.

When it comes down to normal prices or comes up on a streaming service you have, very well worth your time.

Very emotionally gripping and all the actors were wonderful. I found it immensely enjoyable and intense. Best movie I've seen in a long time.
