Updated“Like many animations before it, Coco is about finding yourself while never losing sight of your family. Disney finds a way to tell this story differently, in an un-American setting.”Read full review ↗
“...the film's beautiful ideas of death and beyond will linger with you, long after you've left the cinema.”Read full review ↗
“'Coco' shows us what Disney-Pixar does best, and reminds us that it still hasn't lost its touch. Take your kids along for it, and if you don't have any, don't hesitate to go alone!”Read full review ↗
“Go for Coco! It's a colorful treat to eyes, ears, and heart. Those who are not much into such movies, at a point you'll forget you're watching an animated movie. A satisfying experience for the soul.”Read full review ↗
“Coco's theme about the final death, when one fades from the memory of people, is a poignant one and yet the plot moves along at a steady clip. Nowhere, despite the depth of its ideas, does the film become ponderous. In fact, as unlikely as this may seem, you'll find yourself thinking of this movie long after it's ended.”Read full review ↗
“The surreal nature of the story needed a visual palette that walked the tightrope of magic realism, and director Unkrich made the right call by making this a children's film which is also for adults, rather than an adult film which is also for children. People of all ages, however, would be reaching out for their hankies during the finale where Miguel confronts the titular character, whose identity is best left for you to discover.”Read full review ↗
“The few drawbacks notwithstanding, this is one of Disney-Pixar's better efforts of late!”Read full review ↗
“After a steady stream of underwhelming sequels over the last couple of years, it looks like Pixar is ready to get back on track, and emerge stronger than ever. If you do one thing this weekend treat your heart, soul and eyes to Coco. You won't regret it.”Read full review ↗
