Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi, based on Christine Leunens's book Caging Skies. Roman Griffin Davis portrays the title character, Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a Hitler Youth member who finds out his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs, while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend, a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler (Waititi). The film also stars Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, and Sam Rockwell.  The film had its world premiere at the 44th Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2019, where it won the top prize, the Grolsch People's Choice Award. Jojo Rabbit was released theatrically in the United States on October 18, 2019, and in New Zealand on October 24, 2019. It drew mostly praise – especially for the performances – but also some criticism for its comedic portrayal of Nazis. It was chosen by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute as one of the ten best films of the year. At the 77th Golden Globe Awards the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor – Musical or Comedy for Davis  -------------------- CONFESSIONS OF A MODERN PARENT PODCAST -------------------- - Global Player: https://globalplayer.com/podcast/42KqkH/ - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3rJAGl0k14HrjdPEvYbKh6?si=zXKLUuMhTCmxoS620hzYUA - iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/confessions-of-a-modern-parent/id1460811018   -------------------- FOLLOW US --------------------  NADIA SAWALHA & FAMILY  https://www.instagram.com/nadiasawalhaandfamily.com http://www.twitter.com/nadiasawalha  For more movie news follow:  POPCORN JUNKIES: https://www.instagram.com/thepopcornjunkies  ------------------------------------ BUSINESS ENQUIRIES ------------------------------------  For business enquiries contact: [email protected]
