Elio's reviews
Media reviews
Empire
"Despite its tight runtime, 'Elio' also manages to take time to marvel at the very real wonder of space exploration (...), emphasising the fundamental human need to know we\'re not alone, whether that\'s across the universe or on the planet we live on".
Empire
"Despite its tight runtime, Elio also manages to take time to marvel at the very real wonder of space exploration. As he gazes into the night sky, Elio listens to snippets of legendary astronomer Carl Sagan, emphasising the fundamental human need to know we\'re not alone, whether that\'s across the universe or on the planet we live on."
The Guardian
"Spielbergian twists and an aggressive, deal-oriented alien are among the familiar beats of the Inside Out animator\'s latest, about a lonely boy who finds friendship in space".
Los Angeles Times
"While Pixar has anthropomorphized ants and rats and cars and dolls and emotions, this lonely boy feels stirringly human. Yes, the movie says, go ahead and look for connection up in the sky or under your feet. But also seek it out in each other".
Indiewire
"'Elio' isn\'t a bad time at the theaters — it\'s pretty to look at, charming enough, and frequently funny. But by shying away from investing in where its main character is coming from, the movie makes his galactic adventures feel a bit weightless".
