| Pride It risks going wrong in a dozen different ways and manages to avoid at least half of them.
Waititi's silly, irreverent performance takes the pomp and vigor out of the blustering Fuhrer, declawing the towering 20th century figure of hate.

A staggeringly ill-conceived satire that completely fails to explore its own premise.
