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.

A captivating film well worth shelling out on.

...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.

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

...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.

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