Kambole Campbell Polygon When this character study is pushed more to the forefront, all the film’s elements dovetail perfectly -- the post-apocalypse drama, the fantasy romance, and the extreme sports. Apr 29, 2022 Full Review Christopher L. Inoa Observer I didn’t think I’d experience boredom while watching a film about a team of acrobatic teenagers who compete in life-threatening parkour competitions, all set in a gorgeous yet dystopian version of Tokyo no less. Rated: 1/4 Apr 27, 2022 Full Review Alicia Haddick Little White Lies A competent film that plays things safe while containing just enough crowd pleasing moments to tide over the majority of viewers. Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Shannon Connellan Mashable A dazzling new take on the apocalypse genre that usually resides in a world of blood, mud, and crumbling humanity. Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Lynzee Loveridge Anime News Network Bubble is a film with a myriad of fantasy and sci-fi concepts but fails to rise above them to create truly compelling character relationships, a death knell for what is, at its core supposed to be a romance. Rated: B Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “Bubble” definitely deserves a watch for its gorgeous visuals, but apart from that, there is very little for anyone to like here. Rated: 5 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jhosep G As a retelling of The Little Mermaid, this movie gets to develop the message. But, as an original production, it misses some development on character depth, on movie structure. And the writers really need a lesson in avoiding info dump. I know that we need to understand The Little Mermaid and the events that happened with the bubbles, but I'm sure there are better ways to deliver them. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review TearRose It was refreshing and yet sad. The movie left me speechless and the plot was thought through and well put. It had a good start off and hook. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Aatmika S One of the best movie to watch it is a very good movie you should watch this movie before you die this movie is wonderful 😊 I need its second part also Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Maxwell M Sometimes you gotta just sit back and enjoy some gorgeous animation. The parkour aspect needs its own show that dives deep into parkour I'd watch it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Alex H Beautiful visuals. A different type of dystopian future, loved the paralelism with a folklore romantic tale with a twist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Flores R I love the movie! It's sad but overall it's a really good movie!. I would give it a 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
