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 Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian 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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Kambole Campbell Hyperallergic It shortchanges itself at every turn by overextending itself. Feb 8, 2021 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film A hectic, but wonderful celebration of life, and a moving animated ode to New York City’s jazz scene. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Gautam Sunder The Hindu The studio’s first feature to frontline black characters is a stunning work of animation, with an important message to kids and adults alike. Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Amy Smith InSession Film There are speeches within this film that I will take away for the rest of my life, that is how impactful this film is.

TROY S Soul is gorgeously animated and provokes deep contemplation but fails to capture the greatness of other Pixar films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Killian R Inspirant ! Un film magnifique, à la fois pour le jeune public et le moins jeune. A la fois comique et utopique Une film qui fait réfléchir sur vivre l'instant présent, profiter d'une feuille qui tombe, du vent sur notre visage, de belles et simples choses de la vie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Petra K Definitely one of the most beautiful cartoons ever. It showed me and my mom what could happen after death, and it was so interesting. I am really interested about stuff like this so this was worth watching! Tears were shed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Jazzlyn H A beautiful story about the many purposes in life we have. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Pie S Pretty good movie about the meaning of life. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Indigo O An absolutely amazing film with an amazing lesson that I think everyone should see, both old and young.
