  98/100

  WOW.

  At one point, this film felt so truthful and achingly arresting that I wanted to reach out and become one with the screen. Being in a darkened theatre wasn't enough, I wanted to live within the realm of tenderness and majesty that Inside Out radiated. Pixar has just stolen my heart and opened a door to another world in a way that showcases the limitless possibilities of cinema.

  Pete Docter's Inside Out is a masterpiece. Visually scrumptious, wonderfully conceptual, brilliantly crafted, and heartbreakingly emotional; Pixar's latest film is their finest outing and a masterclass in supremely detailed storytelling.

  With a story beginning from the minds of Pete Docter and Ronaldo Del Carmen (who is also co-director), Inside Out…

  A perfect movie. For my money, the best Pixar’s ever been, the thesis of all their work, and a perfect example of what fantasy can be: not just a hero’s journey, but a stunning, expansive metaphor. A vessel for complex storytelling with a complex and unpredictable resolution.

  Don’t think I’ve seen this since the theater release, and both times I found that beginning sequence far more emotional than anything else. Bing Bong does very little for me, but Riley breaking up her parents’ argument with paper hockey really chokes me up. I started telling Cheyenne about it as it was coming and I still started crying! Really wish I knew why! Wonderful thing.

  Creativity overload, in a good way. The story isn't great and the plot holes are pretty problematic but this movie's so engaging and fun that it doesn't matter. There are so many funny, expressive, heartfelt moments and characters that make this film an absolute Joy to revisit. It's not one of Pixar's absolute best, but it's pretty close.

  Review by Tasha Robinson ★★★★★ 11

  The comparison between this Pixar film's basic concept — a look inside an 11-year-old girl's head, where her emotions push for dominance — and the 1980s sitcom Herman's Head has been made many times. But it's not the concept, it's what Pixar vet and Up director Pete Docter and his team do with it. This is a speedy, often hilariously funny action-adventure, but it's also a mighty empathetic, sweet attempt to understand what sadness means, and why it's an important part of life, and how emotions interact with behavior. It's a smart film, and sometimes a tear-jerkingly emotional one, and it's so much better than the trailers suggest.

  Review by ☆ sophie ☆ ★★★★ 9

  I would like to point out that Sadness and Joy have the same color hair. Why you may ask? I would argue that their blue hair symbolizes that the two share a special connection. A huge theme in the movie is that emotions are not single shades but rather a mixture. This is most notable in that without Sadness, we cannot properly appreciate Joy... both as characters and as emotions. They work hand in hand and it is important to express both emotions in life.

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★ 71

  Do you experience joy? I do when I see a marvelous mullet. Do you feel sadness? I feel sad when my favorite sports team loses the big game. How about fear? Yup, I can't stand clowns. What about disgust? Ha! I'll leave that one alone. How's your anger management level? I'm fairly level-headed, but I've been known to show my temper every now and then. So, all these emotions live inside eleven-year-old, Riley's head. She's moved to San Fransisco with her parents, and she misses her friends back in Minnesota. But, what happens when joy goes bye-bye, and sadness goes poco loco? If you guessed Riley turns into a spoiled little brat; you might be right. Inside Out is the…
