Writer/director Taika Waititi (director of THOR RAGNAROK and HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. In spite of his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi), Jojo confronts his blind nationalism.

Taika Waititi is quickly becoming one of my favorite filmmakers. This was an astonishing film that looks very good on the UHD format. Unfortunately, seeing as this film was acquired by Disney in the Fox merger, this blu-ray is very lacking in the bonus features department as all Disney releases are. Still highly recommend.

I am a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick and this is another great UHD release of his films. My copy came with a slipcover which looks great. Not a huge fan of these new artwork designs but the film itself looks great. Wish there were some new bonus features as it contains the same ones as previous releases but that's a minor quibble.

**This review is based on the packaging/design only** This steelbook looks very sharp! Love the overall design and artwork. It has a very glossy finish which does smudge some but not a big deal. The product arrived in perfect condition with no dents or dings to be found.
