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.

Francesco P Meglio di alla ricerca di Nemo ma non un capolavoro Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Abraham S Finding dory is pretty alright.
