The Red Turtle Ratings & Reviews
NonPlayableContent
June 15, 2025
Slow and deep, just like the currents we can get caught in. You won't be swept away but you'll enjoy the ride. That was 3 ocean puns by the way
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Some films are a speeding train. This one is a hammock on a Saturday afternoon.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
There's no dialogue, the pace is quite slow and the meaning of the story is subject to interpretation. Yet once you're on its wavelength, the film is a mesmerizing experience.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Few films have used color and light with such acuity - from the near monochrome of moonlight on a desolate beach to the infinite, illuminated shades of green in a bamboo forest.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
The Red Turtle is a profoundly simple meditation on the many ways we've become alienated from nature and from the Earth.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Whatever your perspective, there's one thing for sure: The Red Turtle is unlike anything else you've seen in a while.
Seattle Times
Melanie McFarland
In its artfully drawn frames, a simple and universal story unfolds.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This is one of those animations that creates a world so beautiful the characters need only wander around in it.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Watching "The Red Turtle" ... is like falling into an 80-minute wormhole of spare artistry.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
It's possible that you will feel slightly underwhelmed by the end, even as you murmur to yourself, "Well, that was lovely." But underwhelmed is not quite the same as disappointed.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
A fable, beautifully drawn in calm, soothing colors, it doesn't even have dialogue, let alone a throbbing soundtrack. Those sounds you hear are the sounds of silence, and eventually they become hypnotic.
Vox
Genevieve Koski
It's a beautiful example of what animation as a medium is capable of, of what it can achieve that live-action storytelling cannot.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The animation of The Red Turtle is exquisite, making the film a visual splendor. But the story itself is almost simplistic to a fault, flirting with the fantastical but not going far enough.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
This quiet meditation on humans' relationship with nature hews to Ghibli's core values of exquisitely rendered visual images combined with gently ruminative sensibilities.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
If you want to see it as a parable, that's up to you. In all ways, the film plays its hand gently.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
The lack of dialogue may skew towards the experimental, but The Red Turtle's humanity is completely experiential in a way that matches the best Studio Ghibli joints.
Observer
Thelma Adams
The Red Turtle succeeds as both a sumptuous story of humanity's potential for unity with nature and an example of the unique human capacity for understanding through art.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
A thoroughly disarming fairy tale, one that initially appears familiar, but eventually reveals itself to be something new, and altogether unexpected.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The delicacy of the animated movie The Red Turtle... is so quietly breathtaking that to call it a tone poem doesn't quite do the film justice.
Uproxx
Keith Phipps
Dudok de Wit makes every scene gripping. It also doubles as an example of the universal power of visual storytelling.
