“Adorably Atrocious with Hilarious Horrors?” 

 

Taika Waititi?

Feels like a Wes Anderson-

But that’s no complaint-

cutesy tale of acceptance

with heart and humanism.

 

The grim and grievous

meets the fun and fanciful;

tries to be somber,

but doesn’t take enough risks-

this film’s a discordant mess!

 

Title Meaning: Nickname given to main character when he couldn’t “man up” and kill a rabbit during Nazi camp.
