Movie Reviews
“It’s tricky to make an animated film so infused with exuberant sweetness without it becoming cloying. But [‘Encanto’] (…) benefits as much from the purity of the storytelling as the stunning vibrancy of the visuals” David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
“‘Encanto’ is an emotionally wrought movie about the ways family can hurt us (…) That’s a lesson and a tone that doesn’t always come together, but at least provides a magical, impressive spark all its own.” Kristen Lopez: IndieWire
