K. Austin Collins The Ringer The central irony of Finding Dory is that Dory is a risk-taker trapped in a movie that, for all its likability, won't join her on whimsical leaps. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Matthew Rozsa Salon.com Who would have thought one of the deepest films ever made about learning disabilities would star a talking blue fish? Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Much like its titular character, it keeps swimming, and in doing so teaches all of us life lessons that we likely already knew yet still could use to revisit all the same. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews Maybe not one of Pixar’s best movies, but one of their most valuable ones. Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film With Finding Dory, at least that glass stays mostly full of heart and humor, and that's enough to just keep swimming... Rated: B+ Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Mihir Fadnavis Firstpost Finding Dory does feel like a small step down from the studio, but only because they set the standard so high.

Nicholas B Finding Dory is a solid 3.5-star animated film that I found enjoyable. With its beautiful animation, heartfelt moments, and fun characters, it delivers an engaging underwater adventure. Dory's journey of self-discovery adds emotional depth, and the humor keeps things entertaining. While it doesn’t quite reach the magic of Finding Nemo, it still offers a charming and touching story worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 1 hour and 43 minutes of animated comedy. Rated PG for Mild Thematic Elements!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the 1st one. The animation is better but the pacing is very scattered. It goes from decent to frantic to slow. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Audience Member It's really a fun movie... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Dominic C Why does this exist? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Benjamin P Really great movie, the way how it builds upon the idea of the first movie, but with all these new elements is amazing. The way that they developed Dory as a character through this movie with the past and present all coming together, helping her on her journey was done perfectly, also the way that this movie makes you think its done and then it builds further without getting boring is something rarely happening. Amazing movie, loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
