Life Is Beautiful

CriticsCritics: 69
AudienceAudience: 8.7

An imaginative Italian bookseller builds a joyful life with his family before World War II changes everything. When they are deported to a concentration camp, he uses humor and an elaborate story to shield his young son from the surrounding horrors.

My take

You may enjoy this if you appreciate bittersweet stories that mix humor with tragedy and family devotion, like Jojo Rabbit; Not for you if you prefer historically realistic, consistently serious Holocaust dramas.
