Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The chronicle evokes a precious mood. Observations sprinkled throughout the film are like powdered sugar on a stack of pancakes covered in syrup.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Marcel the Shell with Shoes On’ will invariably enchant audiences, regardless of whether they are already familiar with the one-inch talking shell or not. Director Dean Fleischer-Camp and co-writer Jenny Slate have created an animated delight with heart-on-its-sleeve pathos and plenty of deeply-felt laughs.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Josh Thayer (formerly Taylor) @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: It’s the eye that got me. That tiny googly eye that sits in the hole on his right side – our left – is impossibly expressive. It telegraphs an enormous amount of emotional information despite its size.
The Sea Beast
Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: It presents a world that doesn’t have easy answers, where doing the right thing may not always be the popular choice.
Vortex
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Almost ten years after another cinematic provocateur, Michael Haneke, made a film about an elderly couple with a single child facing mortality (“Amour”), along comes writer/director Gaspar Noé with his take and it is far and away the superior film.
2021 Films
Mission Possible
- Excerpt: Mission Possible is a masterclass in action comedy, a film that ticks all the boxes of the category and a truly fun to watch movie.
2020 Films
One Second
- Excerpt: “One Second” does not reach the levels of Zhang Yimou’s masterpieces of the category, as in the case of “Raise the Red Lanterns”, “To Live” etc, but remains a rather well-shot, well acted movie that manages to make a number of pointy comments while entertaining its audience.
