10 Most Rewatchable Films This Decade (So Far)
9. Inside Out
Over the last twenty years, Pixar have set themselves apart from the animated movie competition by producing a wide range of unique films which aren't afraid to chart new narrative territory. Inside Out is perhaps their most conceptually ambitious film to date, venturing where no other animators have gone before: inside the mind of a young girl.
The wonderful visuals alone warrant repeated viewings of Inside Out. Writer-director Pete Docter and his team of artists and animators crafted a truly original interior landscape, poignantly capturing the emotional tug of war the young protagonist Riley experiences after moving away with her parents. It's perhaps the only family friendly animated movie which escapes into the realm of abstract expressionist art, which alone is something to write home about.
Beyond the aesthetics, Inside Out succeeds because of its emotional depth and sincerity - we care as much about Riley as we do her various personified emotions. each of them brought to life with endearing performances from the likes of Amy Poehler and Bill Hader. With characters this engaging and a story only the most cold-hearted person wouldn't find affecting, it's a moving experience which grows on you, delivering an almost cathartic cinematic experience.
