The Red Turtle's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
This is a quiet little masterpiece of images, each one rich with meaning, that collectively speak to a universal process.
Los Angeles Times
'The Red Turtle' is a visually stunning poetic fable, but there?s more on its mind than simply beauty.
The A.V. Club
'The Red Turtle' nevertheless remains throughout a simple, gripping story of survival, deriving its sense of adventure from the most basic plot imaginable: Here?s a human being, stranded in a strange place, using his strength, intelligence, and courage to forge some kind of a life for himself.
The Telegraph
Though there isn?t a single word of dialogue in the film?s 80-minute running time, the big questions it asks, about ambition, acceptance and the beauty of companionship, ring loud in every heart-melting frame.
The Hollywood Reporter
While the plot can sometimes feel too lightweight for feature length, with a score by composer Laurent Perez del Mar ('Now or Never') that tends to overdo it on the gushy side, 'The Red Turtle' benefits from the beautiful animation work of Dudok de Wit and his team.
