Jojo Rabbit. The most intriguing cast list I have seen in a long time, Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen and the director, a Maori Jew playing Hitler. I enjoyed it, a very humorous lesson in how easily people are manipulated by such simple devices as conspiracy theories.
Several film critics have labelled the film a retread of "The Producers", the two films have but one thing in common, nazis, a comedy Hitler and swastikas, it is a lame comparison.
Elsa; “You’re not a Nazi.” Jojo; “I’m massively into swastikas.”

I found it a very thoughtful film about the indoctrination and de-indoctrination of children. Little in common with The Producers who only added the Nazi link for a cheap tasteless gag ( which was the whole point of it ).
In JoJoRabbit, the Nazis are ubiquitous as they were, and stupid, mundane, ridiculous, camp and terrifying. They kill people and steal childhoods.
