Is it for you?

The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone, intense.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off: Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

Jojo, a lonely German boy during World War II has his world shaken when he learns that his single mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. Influenced by a buffoonish imaginary version of Adolf Hitler, he begins to question his beliefs and confront the conflict between propaganda and his own humanity.
