Critics Consensus

Coco's rich visual pleasures are matched by a thoughtful narrative that takes a family-friendly -- and deeply affecting -- approach to questions of culture, family, life, and death.

A fine addition to the Pixar legacy… a very sweet film about family, very thoughtfully put together. It has that unmistakable mixture of comedy and sentiment that you associate with a Pixar movie. Great fun.

In a country with an ever increasing Hispanic and Mexican population, a film like Coco should have come around a long time ago.

4/5

Softening a setting of gallows humor as few films have, family entries or otherwise, "Coco" is a divine representation of the human condition rooted respectfully within marvelous cultural heritage.

In Coco, life meets the world of the dead, and it does so with a unique level of emotionality. While this movie may be for kids, it certainly will touch the hearts of all the adults who may be watching it.

9/10

Coco is a story full of emotion and deep entertainment. The proposal emphasizes the importance of traditions and family, but stripping them of their mandates to offer their members listening and understanding.

What's not to love? This tender story of the little boy who journeys to the Land of the Dead and triggers major changes for his family was a hit when it was first released 8 years ago, and keeps all its charm and humanity to this day. Keep the tissues handy, as this sweet little gem will make your heart glow, but you WILL tear up in parts.

I really liked this movie, the emotions and singing in this movie were so real and bold. The movie was amazing, I’m not much of a theater musical type of girl but I wish there was more dialogue without the cast singing every 3 minutes.
