Rich in Culture and Themes

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2018)

Not only is Coco a beautiful film visually but also symbolically. The animation is incredibly vibrant at times, especially in the land of the dead. The way that Coco also portrays Dia De Los Muertos is also very profound and helps to shine light on the non-western concept that death is in how we are remembered as well as physically. Once you die in memories as well that is when you have truly died. There are very touching moments in the film and this is one of the few films that have made me cry. I loved all the references to Mexican culture and being that it is my heritage it made me very happy to watch this film.
