- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Although not without its minor shortcomings, I was won over by Turning Red‘s enthusiasm and earnest nature.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: the best Pixar movie in over a decade… Sandra Oh’s Ming is perhaps Pixar’s most entertaining vocal performance since Ellen DeGeneres’s Dory
- Thomasena Farrar @ MusicMoviesThoughts.com
- Excerpt: At its finest, the film delivers on capturing the chaotic nature of adolescence combined with the pressures that come from loved ones – both familial and friend – and in doing so will be relatable to many.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: After an interesting start, the story ultimately devolves into a pedestrian monster flick.
- James Luxford @ City AM
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Pixar’s Turning Red might be unapologetically aimed towards preteen girls but there are parts that everyone can enjoy. Certainly, a film that should have premiered in theaters and not on Disney+.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Turning Red is an often uproarious ode to a time in most people’s lives that is simultaneously awful and awesome.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: It’s a wonderful allegory that proves universal to anyone who has ever had to battle against culture, tradition, and guardians too entrenched in their own regrets and guilt to get out of their own way.
- [New] | James Plath @ Family Home Theater
- Excerpt: But the entire world of junior-high age adolescents is incredibly well rendered—even if the mouths of some of the characters tend to remind you a bit of the Aardman Wallace-and-Gromit faces.
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It mixes messages about self-realisation and the discovery of one’s identity, with the normalisation of adolescent femininity, and a very funny fantasy story
