Dr. Sina W @RT65098475 Jul 24, 2026 A stroke of genius. Simplicity, artistry, and poetry. Nothing is explained, leaving plenty of room for your own ideas and interpretations. See more

Ben W @Username618 Apr 26, 2026 Can't remember it at all, and really sorry, but. As an animator, you do want simplicity, as everything that's on screen, has to be kept track of, and move, and that is work. So. Air of 'polar bear in a snow storm' or what have you, with some of the visuals? I am mean, aren't I. See more

A J @RT09090618 Feb 14, 2026 One of the best animated movies I've ever seen. Me and my 7 year old were spell bound. Afterwards he stayed watching all the credits roll and in the end said "This movie made me sad." And I said "Me too. But in a good way." and he agreed. See more

Lucas O @LucasOMovies Sep 23, 2025 Rating: 74%. I loved the beautiful animation in this movie. Even with no dialogue it was decently interesting and keep my attention. At times it can be a little confusing as to the meaning behind what is going on, but it still provides emnotional connections and a wholesome story. A little on the boring side, but still good enough to give it a solid score and say its a good movie. See more

Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Mar 12, 2025 Gorgeous yet simplistic animated film that truly shows the beauty of the genre. Director Michael Dudok crafts a beautiful story about a man stranded on a deserted island only to fall in love in a most extraordinary way. The animation is gorgeous yet simplistic, showing the artistry only the medium could perform, focusing on the visual (there is no spoken dialogue throughout the movie). Easily one of the best animated movies in recent years. See more

Tyler G @tytyx25 Feb 13, 2025 The red turtle was surreal, ethereal, and meditative to the point that I could see anyone brought to tears by this. We get the pleasure of witnessing the full lifecycle of various organisms and how our roles change over time. The animation style is wonderful & unique. The music cascading the background of the film is pleasant and adds to the emotional attachment that grows. I am glad I watched this and hope you do too. Pay attention to the moon, the ocean, and symbolism throughout. Everything felt meaningful in this film and I could see others walking away with vastly different opinions about what things meant See more
