Fine, but Extremely Overrated!

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2019)

I have a couple of issues with Coco. The biggest one by far is that I found the film to be overstuffed with characters that are by no means essential to the plot, which is by the way quite thin and stretched at the same time. And it goes without saying that the approach they took to tell the story is indisputably unoriginal. Let alone the familiar themes the film tackles. What makes up for these problems are: the jaw-dropping animation, the vast and vibrant world that you can't help roaming over it in your mind, and the flawlessly-executed heartbreaking final act. I think the music and the songs are quite good, especially "Un Poco Loco" and of course the Oscar-wining "Remember Me".
(7/10)
