Making a film on Nazism by combining dark humor with cute magical realism is a seriously bad idea. It is stupid, disrespectful, full of jokes of bad taste, politically shallow, simplistic... It would have been a complete disaster if it had not improved a lot in the last part, when most of that camp atmsphere has been abandoned, and the reletationship between Jojo and Elsa became the core of the story. As a matter of fact, that girl, played by Thomasin McKenzie, is the best of the movie. Anyway, despite the ascending curve, the film is overrated, and should be seen as one more cinema production that contributes for a widespread misunderstanding of what fascism is about and how to notice when it rises again elsewhere.
