Roman Griffin Davis, Taika Waititi, Scarlett Johansson

Writer director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Hunt For The Wilderpeople), brings his signature style of humour and pathos to his latest film, Jojo Rabbit, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis), whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in her attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi), Jojo must confront his naive patriotism.

Eleven-year-old urbanite Ricky (Dennison) — rebellious and hip-hop loving — gets a cultural shock when child welfare services send him to a foster-family in the remote New Zealand countryside.  However, he quickly settles into his new home with his loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Neill), and dog Tupac.

But after tragedy strikes his place there is threatened and both he and Hec go on the run in the bush.

 

Here, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family, in this rousing adventure-comedy.
