Feature adaptation of the animated short film interviewing a mollusk named Marcel.
A joyous juxtaposition of quotidian, vérité-style dialogue and fancifully inventive visuals that hits a tragicomic sweet spot.
★★★★
It takes an effort of will to remember that Marcel doesn’t exist. He’s not big enough to hug … but I sort of felt like it.
★★★★
Hilarious and extremely sweet… a feel-good movie that’s not like anything you’ve seen before.
★★★★★
Its quiet tenderness feels expansive… proof that good things really do come in small exoskeletons.
★★★★
Funny, profound, weird, sad, and gorgeously constructed — Marcel is a true original, liable to melt even the most cynical heart.
★★★★★
