A perfect blend of joy and sadness

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2017)

This was clearly written, acted, and directed by people who really understand the subtle shades of emotion. "Inside Out" ranks alongside "Up" for beautiful, intelligent story-telling.
The comedy is well-done, providing plenty of laughs without overwhelming the story, so the film stands up to repeated viewing. Fair warning: if you go in expecting laugh-a-minute, mindless slapstick, then you'll probably be disappointed. But if you are willing to acknowledge Sadness, you will be rewarded with a story that stays with you long after the credits are finished.
TL;DR? Ignore the haters, and enjoy being turned inside out.
