Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

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.
★★★★★
