Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar's original feature film "Luca" is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water's surface.

Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's full of energy and the diligence of those researchers has paid off in its settings which are seductive -- and even more important -- believable. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 30, 2021 Full Review Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Luca is a sweet, gentle, sun-kissed film, with gentle rhythms and a generous spirit. Rated: 3/4 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review This movie takes joy in the everyday things...wonderful moments. Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk All the action, all the emotion, is in Portorosso. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) In Portorosso its inhabitants are against what they call sea monsters. Conversely, the creatures that live under the sea call humans monsters above. So, that world is divided in two microcosms that show that everything depends on the point of view. Rated: 8.5/10 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Gautam Sunder The Hindu Director Enrico Casarosa and his team do a magnificent job of bringing small-town Italy to life, interspersed with a coming-of-age fantasy saga.

Marc M I loved the story, the characters, the look, the music and the cool references to Italian cinema in the 50s in "Luca". You don't have to be Italian to love this movie but it doesn't hurt! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/21 Full Review MP Great movie, me and my 6 year old had a great time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/21 Full Review Joey G This was a solid movie. I enjoyed it, and recommend it if you love Pixar. Also this was just a good and funny movie. It was so light harded, and this shows that not all movies have to have super high stakes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Arianna B A wonderful and joyful movie that warms everyone's hearts. The protagonists are kids, curious, different, trying to bite life in different ways and having different backgrounds. The movie is full of light and colors and in a very delicate and passionate way, nail the Italian setting and the kids hunger for growing up. The fantastic aspects are part of the movie in the same palette of colors that gives life to the story. The characters are round and evolve through the movie, without being too trivial. In their evolution they give energy to the person watching the movie and infuse a sense of braveness and friendship that, for how typical it can be for these kind of movies, it melts in the scenario with a delicate touch, without resulting too boring and expected. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. Of all Pixar films Icna think of, this one has a combination of elements borrowed from a ton of other animated films. It reminds in a sense of something like Hoosiers where it's not breaking new ground narratively. We've been here before plenty of times with other animated classics like the Little Mermaid & Pinnocchio. It borrows a ton of elements from other titles and the story is pretty self contained and small scale compared to others. But the execution is first rate. really good voice acting. My one complaint is they can be a bit on the generic side of things but they have enough depth, charm, and development I wsa interested the entire way. The villian also is kind of lame but alright I guess. Really good animation and music. It's colorful, charming, has plenty of life but it just doesn't have the same distinctiveness other animated flicks that have done these elements better have. Same with the music which is good but I struggle to remember one track being catchy and since there is no musical numbers it can blend in a bit. It's well used though. Everything else is first rate. We stay focused on the Luca and his pals the entire way for the most part and the more it goes the more I got invested in the characters and their dilemmas. It really made up for any shorcomings in the soundtrack or designs. It's nothing you haven't seen before but it's got a great message that's well told even if we've seen it tons of times before. Everyone should give it a try once. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review manon u charming, fun movie with a nostalgic feel Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
