Elio

The first few minutes of the film felt slightly incohesive, but it quickly found its rhythm. What followed was a genuinely good film, refined, emotionally grounded, and supported by well-developed characters.

It was disheartening to see such a low turnout on premiere day, especially for a film that dares to break away from the recycled storylines we've seen over the past decade. In a time when originality should be celebrated, it's unfortunate that support for something this fresh feels lacking.

That said, the film delivers plenty of heartfelt and humorous moments, and it's one that will surely resonate with both children and parents alike. I truly hope word of mouth helps it gain the recognition it deserves.

Eight out of ten!!!. I really enjoyed this film & i didn't expect two aliens to have me teary eyed leaving the theater!! Yall should take y'all kids to see!! I seen a lot of grown adults complaining about this film when it's not for them, it's for children. I'm sure the kids will enjoy regardless of what you ppl are talking about. My nieces and nephews enjoyed every second of ELio !! I honestly don't have any complaints whatsoever, the storyline was great, it teaches kids about true friendship with anyone or anything no matter what, it shows how you can overcome bullying and even make friends w those who once bullied you. It's all around a lot of positive messages being sent in this film.

Just didn't hit anything and was overall a bit meh. Predict this will finish it run and melt away into obscurity. The story was not very well built and rumbled along on the ruins of whatever it was they tried to build. It needed a small funny sidekick at the very minimum. I know its an overused trope but this film needed laughs from somewhere cause it couldn't find them anywhere else. It tied up pretty neatly and everything worked out as you'd expect but not enough for me to be the slightest bit interested in the after credit scene.

I'll repeat myself but it was meh and we'll, boring.

Best thing about it is the use of Talking Heads in the soundtrack.

A very entertaining film that's not just for kids - adults will find a lot to appreciate, too. The main character is incredibly sweet and deals with relatable, everyday issues in a heartfelt way.

Visually, it's beautifully animated as you'd expect from Pixar. It definitely resembles ,Luca' regarding its looks.

More importantly, the story touches on timely and meaningful themes: loneliness, grief, and how people from different backgrounds can come together when it really matters. It's thought-provoking without being heavy. Definitely worth watching, even if it's not among Pixar's absolute top-tier films.

I watched Elio, and honestly, it felt highly rushed. The movie spent more time building up Elio's plot and his life on Earth than it did on the actual space adventure - which should've been the heart of the story for growth. Even then, the space part lacked complexity, everything just felt short and underdeveloped. I know it's a kids' movie, but it still felt like it could've been much more. Kids are capable understanding some complex situations. Take WallE and monsters, Inc for example. Overall, it came off as rushed and missing the emotional or narrative weight it needed. I see the vision but it needed more.
