Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - Reviews

...a life-affirming, super charming and sweet-natured journey. It’s a soothing balm unlike any other wholesome feature around.

A sentient shell sets out to find his family with help from a documentary filmmaker in Dean Fleischer-Camp's effortlessly charming feature debut.

...when Rossellini takes the emotional reins, the film ascends to another level of resonance and poignancy.

...anchored at the center is such a warm, tenderhearted personality and worldview that sends you out of the other side with a rejuvenated and healed spirit.

Funny, profound, weird, sad, and gorgeously constructed — Marcel is a true original, liable to melt even the most cynical heart. A very special shell indeed.

...a weird little hothouse flower of a film that looks as if it might crumple at the slightest breath of wind – but is actually very resilient.

Sweet, poignant, and funny -- but also intentionally calm and thoughtful -- this movie about a tiny shell's unique perspective on life will have you looking at your own surroundings in new ways.

...en charmerande film du inte visste att du behöver i ditt liv - men det gör du verkligen.

...kan vara den mest imponerande film jag har sett på länge. I alla fall om man bara utgår från det tekniska hantverket.

...[Jenny Slates] stemmeføring luller én til ro som under et tungt uldtæppe og giver den samme trygge følelse af hjem og nidkær hengivenhed som Cirkelines moderlige røst.
