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.

Tom Hanks delivers a wonderful performance as Fred Rogers in this affecting biopic. Reluctantly assigned to pen a piece on the iconic children's television host for Esquire magazine, journalist Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) has his pessimistic views unexpectedly altered when he strikes up a friendship with Mr. Rogers himself, who teaches him some valuable lessons about life. Chris Cooper, Susan Kelechi Watson, Enrico Colantoni, Maryann Plunkett co-star. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
