Totally unfocused

Rating: 5/10 (20 September 2015)

I honestly do not know how this film is being given ratings of 10.
This is an example of a film which didn't know what it wanted to be. Firstly what is the target audience? The style of animation is clearly aimed at children, but the content simply is not. To make any sort of sense out of the unfocused storyline you need an adults understanding of the underlying material, which is hopelessly dumbed down, to the point of actually being wrong anyway. You also need a reasonable degree of empathy, or to have experienced such feelings, something younger children typically do not have
Then there is the question of who is the main character, Joy or Riley? Because what you have are 2 simultaneous plot lines (such that they are), linked through metaphor only, blurred by the failed attempt to give the emotions separate personalities
Ratings of 1 are overly harsh in my opinion, there are far worse films, but once you start thinking about it, it just isn't great.
