Wendy Ide Screen International Ugo Bienvenu’s appealing but not groundbreaking 2D computer animation takes very familiar themes but employs them in the service of something relatively rare: a science-fiction film that dares to hope for a better future. Jun 12, 2025 Full Review 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 Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily All of this skews quite young which makes this well-intentioned tale quite accessible for the little members of the family. Parents may well appreciate the environmental message as well as the dazzling colorful visual style. Jun 11, 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 Read all reviews
