Marcel the Shell with Shoes On Ratings & Reviews
Eric Bakke
October 10, 2024
Utterly delightful and heartwarming, beautifully capturing the nuances of loss and the importance of community and connection. Its charm lies in its ability to evoke profound emotions while maintaining a playful tone.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
An adorable little film with big life-lessons.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The movie's cloying sentimentality is balanced by its imaginative vigor and its wry shell's-eye view of humanity.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Like wisehearted early Pixar films (Up), Marcel the Shell With Shoes On is a treat for the whole family, and a welcome respite from cynicism, sentimentality and anything-for-a-buck-ism.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
The ideal mood-boosting movie, one that earns the warm and fuzzy feeling it leaves you with via stellar writing, great performances, top notch craftsmanship, and what feels like a deep and very genuine desire to bring some happiness and hope to the world.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
Placing Marcel deeper in the context of our contemporary landscape allows Slate and Fleischer Camp to explore, on a meta level, how the character has been received.
Fox 10 Phoenix
Caroline Siede
This kid-friendly A24 movie is somehow whimsical, bittersweet, life-affirming and a little bit heartbreaking all at once. And that makes it the perfect movie for the moment.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Hilarious and extremely sweet... a feel-good movie that's not like anything you've seen before.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
"Marcel" is a wisp of a wistful film, whether it's being existentially deep or essentially silly. Most of all, it just feels like a salve.
Arizona Republic
KiMi Robinson
If a heartfelt summer comedy feels like something that the doctor ordered, then a healthy dose of "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On" is just what you need.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On is the most unassuming and delicate of movies, but don't be shocked if it leaves you in ruins.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On imagines an alternative world where characters and stories are born of sheer creativity and not recycled ideas based on selling children's toys.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's best not to expect a life-changing experience from Marcel the Shell With Shoes On. But its tenderness, along with its best jokes, are most welcome right about now.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
For the most part, Fleischer-Camp rewards the commitment, although there are moments when the film feels like it's reaching to earn its almost 90-minute running time.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The ideal family film should be equally enjoyed by kids and adults, then handed down from one generation to the next... And this delightful heart-warmer belongs in that category.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
It is so sweet, gentle, and wise. It's just pure joy.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
How can a film so disarmingly simple inspire deep feelings about loss, connection, and the meaning of family? I'm not sure I have the answer, but at a time when so many of us are feeling disoriented-or disconnected-a movie like this is especially welcome
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Its quiet tenderness feels expansive... proof that good things really do come in small exoskeletons.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Even at 89 minutes the movie's overlong, but in its gentle humor and wistfulness for a world of reconnection, it's a genuine tonic.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
In the hands of Slate and her director and creative partner Dean Fleischer-Camp, it's charming, laugh-out-loud funny, and surprisingly poignant.
