32 Movies Like Jojo Rabbit (2019) On Cineplex Canada (Page 3)

Chasing the feel of watching Jojo Rabbit ? Here are the movies we recommend you watch right after.

I love Taika Waititi, and this movie didn't disappoint. It apparently generated some controversy because Waititi found wry humor in idiocy of the Hilter Youth of Nazi Germany, but I'm convinced that the nay-sayers didn't actually watch the film. Waititi dubbed it an 'anti-hate satire'. The movie is touching, sweet and ironic. Jojo, played by Roman Griffin Davis is blindly nationalistic, even as the 3rd Reich is crumbling, but his single mother, played by Scarlett Johannson keeps her dignity and walks the fine line of keeping her son safe, while staying true to her values. Sam Rockwell, as Captain Klenzendorf is brilliant and Archie Yates, as JoJo's best friend, is adorable. Well worth the watch.

31. Emanuel, 2019

This documentary about the 2015 massacre at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church explores key questions around faith, justice, and forgiveness. It situates the massacre – which left nine African American churchgoers dead – within a bigger picture, with Emanuel being the first-ever freestanding black church in Charleston, a city in South Carolina with a highly charged racial history.

The film’s strengths lie in the stories of those who lost loved ones in the massacre, and the miraculous forgiveness some of the survivors offered the 21-year-old white supremacist responsible for the attack. Above all, it is a story about the power of faith.

32. The One and Only Ivan, 2020

Better than any movie starring a talking CGI gorilla has any right to be, The One and Only Ivan isn't so much a family adventure so much as it's a light character study that younger viewers should also enjoy. The film still runs into a number of the same problems you might expect—haphazard plotting, celebrity voice acting that adds nothing to the characters—but it's still remarkably thoughtful and has the maturity to explore much sadder territory. As much as movies originally released on Disney+ can at times feel like products churned out from an assembly line, this one feels far more sincere, with a real message behind it.
