      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Red Turtle adds to Studio Ghibli's estimable legacy with a beautifully animated effort whose deceptively simple story boasts narrative layers as richly absorbing as its lovely visuals.

      Alec B A gorgeously animated fairy tale. The lack of dialogue is wonderful as I'm tired of animated films screaming nonsense at me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Kyle M This artistic meditative film is good over its conceptualized nature and soundly definitive traits, but nothing much to be absorbed by considering the subtextual reality check beneath the absurdity that's merely an analytical thought easily decrypted. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Ron F A beautifully multi-layered nature oriented Fantasy. Absorbing all the way through. It leaves you with a marvelous feeling. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Deepak N I was massively disappointed after seeing such high reviews on here. The trailer also looked beautiful, but was much more interesting that the whole movie. It is alright overall, but slow and confusing many times. And by the end very depressing. I would not watch it again, or even perhaps at all to begin with. Nah, I would watch it once though it is too long. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review Jeffrey F Slow & boring. The good animation could not stop me from wanting to gouge my eyes out half way through. I signed up on rotten tomatoes specifically to give this movie a bad rating - the number of positive reviews for this is an injustice and has to be a joke. (Gets a half star for the cute crabs) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Eno V Every time I watch it, tears run down like razor blades.

      Donald Clarke Irish Times The Red Turtle is a truly delightful film that does its parent company proud. Hugely recommended. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2017 Full Review Isabel Stevens Sight & Sound The depth and texture on show here - conjured from a surge of pencil marks and watercolour washes - is remarkable. The film is a must for the big screen. Jun 5, 2017 Full Review Kate Stables Sight & Sound A precise and elegant fable, which uses magical realism to wind its elements together, The Red Turtle hints rather than hollers about the emotional bond between man and animal. Jun 5, 2017 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Vague Visages I’ve never been particularly moved by Studio Ghibli films — which Film Twitter would have you think makes me some kind of monster — and The Red Turtle didn’t really change the story. Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Even at 80 minutes, this feels attenuated, and Laurent Perez Del Mar’s lush score of sentimental cliches isn’t an adequate substitute for dialogue or a strong plot. Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Ultimately a meditation not only on what it means to be human but, more significantly, what it means to be as one with the natural order of the world. Rated: 3/4 Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
