Inside Out

What can I say about this movie? The colorful visuals are beautiful; the animation is of a high standard, has a fascinating narrative (sometimes almost predictable), and the setting is really nice. The scriptwriting and subject matter really succeeded in portraying the inner world of a young girl, portraying her different emotional states and the human mind, so I appreciate the creators’ imagination in coming up with something so good. Among the other positive things about this movie is its sense of humor. However, some jokes, like the memory of an advertising jingle that kept popping up unexpectedly, were not that amusing. Otherwise, what would a movie about emotions be without emotions? I have to say that with this movie, the screenwriters made it both charming and melancholic. They managed to make it powerfully moving, and I almost shed a tear during the scene with the pink elephant/cat/(dolphin) at the bottom of the abyss. I have to say that I did not simply get through the movie; I had a great time watching it. When I compare it to other animated movies I have seen this year, after the unreal Song of the Sea, this was probably the most fun I have had so far, so I am going to award it 8.5/10. (21/06/2015)

Unfortunately, I don’t share the surrounding enthusiasm. You can’t deny Inside Out’s brilliant core premise, which could be the basis of something truly exceptional and ambitious. The playfulness and creativity can’t be denied, either; the film is full of interesting visual ideas, gags, whatever (the switch to other heads). But everything around that, though effective, is just ordinary and predictable. (18/10/2015)

Overrated utter shit that I felt like turning off after half an hour. For me, one of the worst animated films I've seen so far. Absolutely ugly and disgusting animation, the lack of humour is almost unforgivable, it's not funny at all, on the contrary it's a very depressing affair that will only please EMOs and most importantly it's strictly for kids under 5. Terrible! The only thing that separates me from a Boo! rating is the central idea, which was given a total of ten minutes. 10 percent infantile shit that I never want to hear about again in my life.

Pixar is back. An untraditional idea family pack that works like an incredibly emotional (but not in the figurative sense) rollercoaster ride. Pete Docter is in control again, changing everything he touches into gold. A story of Joy and Sadness lost somewhere inside a little girl going through one of the most difficult periods of her life is almost flawless. Parents hold their breath with their kids and they are subjected to Anger, Fear and Disgust. Another movie that says more about us than we realize. Not just entertaining, but educational. Movie of the year, along with Mad Max. (26/07/2015)

An extremely imaginative treat for the soul from Pixar. Playful, funny, moving, for young and old alike, in short, an ideal combination of everything, supported by Giacchino's beautiful music and spiced up with unreal jokes like domestic arguments at dinner. A beauty. I'm still soft from all this. But pleasantly soft. (29/07/2015)
