Jojo Rabbit (2019)

  • Waititi, Taika
  • 2019, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Taika Waititi

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

3.5 stars

Shot in long takes in eight parts by nine women filmmakers from the Pacific Islands, this is an illuminating and poetic take on the ‘spirit of existence’.

A mixed bag that makes you wonder if things might be better if the journey was shorter, or at least more briskly-paced.

  • Jackson, Peter
  • 2018, Documentary, New Zealand, Peter Jackson, UK
  • Leave a comment

Conceptually and technologically, it is breathtaking to behold, but the experience of seeing it is at best ambivalent, and at worst problematic.
