At the “Knives Out” premiere, critic JustinCChang found himself forcibly constraining his laughter. 'Jojo Rabbit,' on the other hand? Chang calls it a 'visually sparkling, terminally self-satisfied provocation.'
The Hitler comedy ‘Jojo Rabbit’ is actually a love letter to single mothers, including Taika Waititi’s
Writer-director-star Taika Waititi made the Nazi comedy “Jojo Rabbit” as a tribute to single moms, with a character played by Scarlett Johansson. It also feels like a feint, a dodge, a dash of vinegar to help you swallow a thick dose of Holocaust-drama treacle.
Don’t get me wrong. At a moment when anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism and white supremacy are enjoying a hideous global resurgence, I’m hardly opposed to the notion of an accessible, entertaining movie that advances a warm-hearted, child-friendly message of tolerance, humanity and Hitler-dunking. Nor am I against the idea of confronting children with something genuinely dark and audacious, especially given how quick the film industry usually is to infantilize its youngest consumers.
But “Jojo Rabbit” is not that something. Set to open Oct. 18 through an under-new-management Fox Searchlight Pictures, it may fit a Disney executive’s notion of edgy, but its so-called audacity smacks of calculation and emotional cowardice.

ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Pro Essential Prep KnivesHeads up! Additional promotions do not apply to these items. ZWILLING has been making the highest-grade German knife for home cooks and professional chefs alike since 1731—almost three centuries! The ZWILLING Pro is beloved for its bolster design, which is extremely ergonomic and comfortable for holding with a pinch grip. This means safe cutting done with the entire length of the blade. The ZWILLING Pro 5.5' Serrated Prep Knife is great for any fruits and veg, but its serrated edge makes its especially suited for slicing and dicing the more delicate ones—think tomatoes!—while still retaining the ability to cut through tough skins and bread crusts. It can also handle tasks as varied as getting the skin off a grapefruit, slicing meats and cheeses, butterflying chicken breasts, de-veining shrimp, and much more. The blade allows for plenty of knuckle clearance as you chop, yet is small enough for in-hand paring tasks. The ZWILLING Pro 5.5' Fine-Edge Prep Knife is the essential prep knife, perfect for all detailed prep tasks. Its small size makes it your most nimble kitchen companion and feels great in hand. The ZWILLING Pro 7' Hybrid Prep/Chef Knife, with its larger blade, is the perfect mix of a chef knife and a prep knife. It can take on all the big tasks a chef knife can, while maneuvering like a prep knife for more detailed tasks. We love how versatile it is and the extra heft it brings to veggie and meat prep. It really is a can-do-anything sort of knife. You have a few options for how you want to get set: select either the 5.5' serrated knife or the 7' hybrid prep/chef knife on its own, or go for a handy set of two 5.5' prep knives—one with a fine-edge blade and one with a serrated blade.
