Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Writer-Director Waititi walks a tightrope of humor and stark reality and does it masterfully. For example, I giggled so much at the ridiculous descriptions of Jews,  but was never in danger of forgetting the very real ramifications of such propaganda.

The story is told from the point of view of a fervent little German, a 10-year-old whose imaginary friend just happens to be a very insecure Adolf Hitler. Though his best friend keeps him grounded in Aryan dogma, his home life starts to make him question his beliefs.

It's hilarious and terribly sad at the same time. A truly lovely film.
