MIDWAY (2019) is a patriotic war movie about America’s response to Imperial Japan’s attack on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. MIDWAY is an exciting, fast-paced, well-crafted war movie about courage and sacrifice, but it does have an excessive amount of foul language.

-2 Extreme caution for older teenagers and adults.
JOJO RABBIT is a quirky satire about a young boy’s growth from being a member of the Hitler Youth during World War II to being a better person when he finds out his mother is hiding a teenage Jewish girl in their attic. Despite the satire, JOJO RABBIT becomes a very moving experience as the boy interacts with the Jewish girl and rediscovers his humanity. However, the movie has lots of PG-13 foul language and some violence, so MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution.
