- Excerpt: Ugo Bienvenu’s magical feature debut encases an “E.T.” like adventure story about friendship spanning two different worlds within an environmental message that offers both a dire warning and hope for our future.
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Arco is a stunning hand-drawn animation with creative futuristic concepts and warm family narrative and proving that traditional animation still has a place in the digital era.
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Arco is a spectacular film. It soars with beloved characters, a kid-friendly yet challenging-for-all-ages plot, and beautiful animation.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The animation style is attractive, the environments intricately detailed, and the action energetic. I also really loved Arnaud Toulon’s score—always present yet never overpowering. It’s a crucial piece that augments the emotions carried by Fay and Valdi.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: É um filme para ver com olhos de criança e mente de adulto. Para acreditar que tudo vai ficar bem, mas arregaçar as mangas para colaborar no processo.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s a pleasure to see a gentle, colourful, and expertly designed animated film (Arco’s 2D animation is beautiful) by human beings, that, without being a masterpiece, ends up feeling like a refreshing experience.
