Ansel Elgort’s performance is wonderful, and he is surrounded by one of the most interesting but entertaining casts I have ever seen together. Boasting some of the most impressive and colorful visuals Pixar has ever produced, as well as a relentlessly catchy soundtrack, Coco is the rare film that perfectly balances themes of following your individual dreams with a “value your family” message.Īn absolutely stunning film with brilliant visuals, a cunning and hilarious script, and an awesome soundtrack that plays an integral part in the film, are just some of the many reasons to watch Baby Driver. Gonzalez is joined by Benjamin Bratt, Gael García Bernal, and Renée Victor in strong supporting roles.
Centering on Mexico’s Day of the Dead holiday, the story features Anthony Gonzalez as lead character Miguel, a 12-year-old with a passion for music who finds himself stranded in the Land of the Dead. For the first time in its history, the animation studio creates a film starring a cast of Mexican characters, which beautifully celebrates Mexican culture and the importance of family. Coco is perfect for all ages and is one of the best animated films in years!Īfter a series of unremarkable original films and decent, if not spectacular, sequels ( The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory, among others), Pixar makes a grand return to form with Coco, one of its most refreshingly unique and emotionally affecting movies in years. The Shape of Water takes the best of Splash, Children of a Lesser God, No Way Out, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon with a sprinkle of classic black-and-white musicals and La La Land and weaves it into a new narrative all its own, yet so familiar that the alien feels comfortable – the audience can relax into the hands of its sure-handed director and excellent actors who show the film world how this is done.Ĭoco is not only a gorgeous film to look at, but it shines with a great story, has memorable characters and shows us a world of one of the most interesting holidays. Not since Pan’s Labyrinth has beauty and horror been so exquisitely fused. If you were questioning Guillermo del Toro’s place as one of the greatest active directors, then The Shape of Water will eradicate all doubts.
