Critics Consensus

A film as beautiful to contemplate as it is to behold, Soul proves Pixar's power to deliver outstanding all-ages entertainment remains undimmed.

Whelan Barzey

Time Out

If anything, Soul is guilty of over-ambition. The wizardry and wit are there, but it lacks Pixar’s usual deftness in making complex themes sing for youngsters.

Rated: 3/5

What follows is an absolute delight. It will make any viewer cherish the life they have and want to live it more fully, every single day, ideally with lots of laughs along the way.

It shortchanges itself at every turn by overextending itself.

Spotlight on Film

A hectic, but wonderful celebration of life, and a moving animated ode to New York City’s jazz scene.

The studio’s first feature to frontline black characters is a stunning work of animation, with an important message to kids and adults alike.

You should probably watch this movie at least once in your life. It teaches us a lot about everything. We do need more movies like this so that we could learn how to appreciate small things around us 😌

This is definitely one of the greatest Disney/Pixar movies i have ever seen. The only part i could critic on is Moonwind... I don't like this character and his abilities are to much for a mortal human. They never explained in the movie if he is above man-kind or just a regular dude. Really weird how he is able to speak with Joe and Soul 22 while he is spinning his sign at work. But i really love the story and Joe Gardner as a character.

Uma verdadeira joia que ressoa com todas as idades. A trama parece mais voltada para o público adulto e assistir esse filme com crianças me fez ter que explicar os conceitos mais profundos e filosóficos oferecidos, mas eu diria que quem mais chorou foram os jovens na busca incessante do sentido da vida.

O filme nos lembra que a beleza da vida está nos pequenos momentos – nas conexões, nas sensações e nas experiências diárias. A vida é muito mais do que simplesmente cumprir um objetivo – é sobre experimentar, aprender e crescer, independentemente de onde isso nos leva.
