But Why Tho? A Geek Community

For Jojo is excellent for two reasons: its main character is incredibly well performed, and its main conflict is incredibly well contrived.

Rated: 8.5/10

Common Sense Media

This portrait of a toxic friendship goes up to the edge of the horror genre then pulls back into a tale of ordinary neediness and nastiness.

Rated: 2/5

Cult’s performance is great and she manages to add depth to a character who could very easily be seen as a girl seeking attention and acting out immaturely.

For a non-violent drama it’s kind of brutal.

Rated: 3/4

Ready Steady Cut

For Jojo is funny and remains grounded by being humorous, but never turning into a farce.

Rated: 4/5

a 90 minute movie of which the 1st 85 minutes were wonderfully done (5 stars). The last 5 minutes left me scratching my head and led to my 2.5 rating. Caro Cult is outstanding in her role of Paula, and is worth watching just for her.
