Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Entertaining, funny and surprisingly suspenseful a times, Coraline is the perfect movie for your little one...and for the child in all of us. Rated: A Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Tom Charity CNN.com Coraline never stops taking artistic risks. I hope there's a brave enough audience out there willing to take the plunge. Nov 17, 2014 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News All involved in this production deserve praise for turning Coraline into a triumph of storytelling and cinematic technology. Whether you're young, middle-age or older, you'll adore it. Rated: A- Nov 17, 2014 Full Review Collin Garbarino WORLD Coraline seems to have grown into an allegory that it was never meant to be. I honestly can’t think of a better analogy for our current algorithm-driven existence that promises to give us just what we want Rated: 3/4 Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Cinerama Film Compelling, beautiful, dark, funny, horrifying, and everything in between, Coraline should be recognised for what it is: one of animated cinema’s greatest offerings. Rated: 5/5 Aug 24, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment This film is truly one of the best features ever to incorporate 3D, as it works not only on a visual level (it looks fantastic) but also on a narrative and thematic one. Rated: 8/10 Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
