Ben Kenigsberg RogerEbert.com Bienvenu seems to have aspired to a Miyazakian look, but his character renderings—as opposed to his livelier backdrops—don’t reach that level of expressiveness or invention. May 18, 2025 Full Review Christian Blauvelt IndieWire The artistic intentions couldn’t be better. Maybe with the next film, the ability to better realize them will follow. Rated: B- May 16, 2025 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter Arco roots for a future in which humans do survive. The film aims to inspire action and stave off despair with a reminder that the most powerful tool younger generations can wield is their imagination. May 16, 2025 Full Review Ryan McQuade AwardsWatch Arco doesn’t allow itself the chance to separate from thinking of other [animated] films that are better than it in almost every way. Rated: C May 25, 2025 Full Review Anna Miller Next Best Picture “Arco” isn’t just a wondrous time for the kids but an endearing and quite emotional tale that’s meant to stir up conversations about the importance of connection and reevaluating our relationship with technology and the natural world around us, Rated: 6/10 May 23, 2025 Full Review Gregory Ellwood The Playlist When “Arco” comes to its inevitable “E.T.” inspired conclusion, the wondrous score by Arnaud Toulon may have you this close to shedding a tear. And you’ll wonder if this future is truly only an animated dream. Rated: B+ May 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
