      Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The way director Dean Fleischer Camp mixes stop-motion animation and live action filmmaking is matched by the storytelling’s fusion -- everything gels delightfully. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) A joyous juxtaposition of quotidian, vérité-style dialogue and fancifully inventive visuals that hits a tragicomic sweet spot. Rated: 4/5 Feb 19, 2023 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times No emotion is forced, but, as we move towards a touching denouement, even Teflon psyches will find themselves opening up to the oddest of outsiders. Rated: 4/5 Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan Marcel the Shell with Shoes On has a simple plot but a character that overcomes the fear of loneliness. It’s a universal feeling that will surely resonate with viewers. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews A simple but beautiful film about appreciating the little things in life. + Hilarious along the way! A24 has its first family feature & it’s a HIT! Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome There’s a lot for a one-inch shell to be afraid of. It’s easy to make excuses and turn down opportunities that scare us, and it’s easy to stay in the world that we know, but humanity is at its best when we are brave.

      Elsa Its an absolutely delightful & imaginative stop-action film. Its lovable characters will teach you to see everyday objects & experiences with fresh eyes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Jared Z Incredibly creative and cute. Ultimately though, not sure I needed to spend 90 minutes with Marcel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/22 Full Review Nettie I liked that it was all about family and community. It actually had me tearing up a couple times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/22 Full Review Rosemary M A little slow start but picks up and is a very thoughtful and extremely creative movie. Totally recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/22 Full Review Ruthe B Heartfelt and buoyantly original - this is a film for all ages. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/22 Full Review Lisa The messages were really good, but being a animated shell my daughters wanted to see it. However it was too above them so they didn't enjoy it. It's more an adult movie for sure. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/22 Full Review Read all reviews
