Inside Out

Pixar is doing what it does best again, which is messing up kids' carefree youth, but this time I really wonder what the tots will take away from it. For aside from the insufferable hyperactive Joy, they don't have many clues here, and instead are forced to process complicated rushes of emotion (a touching crying scene is destroyed by the character crying candy instead of tears) and life truths ("Yes, Reilly, the things you like to remember now will make you instantly sad one day because they'll never come back"). This is perfectly crowned by the Czech translation (Sadness translated as Depression), which turns the film's point into a lesson that to be happy you need to get some healthy depression now and then. Recommended by ten out of ten rope manufacturers. Yes, I find it appealing in its subversiveness; however, it seems to me that this was perhaps not entirely the intention. It's depressing and creepy all the way around the corner, but the realistic look at the inside of your head during an interaction with the opposite sex somehow puts faith in the fact that Pixar simply gets us.

A thrilling and nerve-wracking chase driven by a million-dollar idea, which propelled it forward. That alone would have been enough for a dazzling experience, if it weren't for Riley and her emotions taking it even further. The day after seeing it, every last one of us wakes up and ends up wondering who's currently running your head. At that moment, everything falls into place, and the second layer starts to work, where each plot chapter has undeniable significance. In the end, Pixar is reaching for immortality, because there will always be so many vulnerable and hurt teenagers everywhere. (11/06/2015)

Pixar is back. An untraditional idea family pack that works like an incredibly emotional (but not in the figurative sense) rollercoaster ride. Pete Docter is in control again, changing everything he touches into gold. A story of Joy and Sadness lost somewhere inside a little girl going through one of the most difficult periods of her life is almost flawless. Parents hold their breath with their kids and they are subjected to Anger, Fear and Disgust. Another movie that says more about us than we realize. Not just entertaining, but educational. Movie of the year, along with Mad Max. (07/26/2015)

An extremely imaginative treat for the soul from Pixar. Playful, funny, moving, for young and old alike, in short, an ideal combination of everything, supported by Giacchino's beautiful music and spiced up with unreal jokes like domestic arguments at dinner. A beauty. I'm still soft from all this. But pleasantly soft. (07/29/2015)

A divine fairy tale with tons of jokes, built on a great idea and great characters. The entire movie theater was laughing, the children were breathless, here and there a child whispered that he was scared, there was a conspicuous silence during the sad scene with the elephant, and finally everyone was breaking out in laughter again. I even felt as if someone had finally explained my behavior and that of all the people around me, and as I watched, my emotions clearly led to glowing joy. And maybe I was just getting manipulated inside my head, but I think this was one of the best cartoons I've ever seen. So everyone grab the kids and run to the movies to clear your head. And if you don't have kids, borrow some. And if they won't let you have them, go yourself, because this is worth it. 5 stars. (07/25/2015)
