7/10. Entertaining enough black comedy drama about the last days of Nazi Germany, with Rebel Wilson, Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell.
The film is about a 10-year old Hitler youth fanatic meeting various challenges and having to grow up fast. It's done in a spoof episodic semi-realistic style which means it can avoid having to be consistent or realistic, and it lurches between humour, realism and pathos. Quite a few funny bits, a few imagnative scenes and some clever dialogue such as "You're a 10 year old boy, it's time you started acting like one" but overall there's no big moral message other than "evil is bad".

Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Clearly a homage to Wes Anderson, in all the best ways, but very well done, and very well acted too by the young lead Roman Griffin Davis, although I also thought Rebel Wilson was superb.
'Go and give that American a cuddle....' - the best line in the film - proper laugh-out-loud....
I'd raise your 7/10 to give in a solid 8.
Cheers,
