Reviews:

SWITCH. (7/10)

Less quirky than 'Jojo Rabbit' and less dramatised than 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', there is still lots to admire about 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit'. Whilst it lacks the gut-punch one might expect from a film of this nature, it is filled with surprisingly funny moments that aids the film's heart, as well as being incredibly poignant - and above all else, raises important questions for children. In terms of introductory films that address the horrors of the Second World War, this film goes a long way in putting its hand up for number one spot.
